Is your network affected by Plex?
Hey there, I see you're facing some issues with Plex on your PC. Let me help clarify a few points. Since Plex uses your internal network rather than your regular internet connection, you likely need a stable 10Gbps connection to avoid lag. Have you checked if your router supports that speed? Also, ensure your PC is properly connected and that no other devices are heavily using bandwidth. If the problem persists after confirming these, we can dig deeper. Thanks for sharing!
Assume everything operates at gigabit speeds right now? There’s no 100Mbit connection anywhere? My Plex runs on a gigabit switch and streams smoothly across several devices during gaming or other tasks. Could you see how network usage looks when streaming alone?
It depends on what you're trying to check. If it's a software issue, your computer might be the place. If it's related to network connectivity, your router could be involved.
Your computer is connected via a power line Ethernet adapter, while your TV streams over Wi-Fi.
These adapters are compatible with various models from major manufacturers.
It also matters that running tasks on your PC while playing can lead to delays in CPU and storage performance. This isn't ideal testing—unless both the Plex server and client are connected directly (or not through powerline), they won’t affect your gaming setup unless you stream over the internet.
