OK, here is the deal. I have been running my plex server without issue for a while. I have ROKus on my TVs in the house as well as the Plex app on my Android devices... All has been fine and dandy. Well, about a week ago I switched from Time Warner cable to ATT Uverse and that is where the problems began. I have since been able to go to the AT&T modem and open the correct port. I am able to see my Plex server in my house, it shows up on the Plex website as a valid server and sees my static IP address.
Connecting Apple AirPort Extreme Router to Windows B. Setup Internal Wi-Fi network with Apple AirPort Extreme Router Make sure you have a LAN cable connected from the HKBN wall plate/ONT to the WAN port of your Apple AirPort Extreme router. Using a second LAN cable, connect it from the Router LAN port to the computer LAN port.
The name 'AirPort Extreme' originally referred to any one of Apple's AirPort products that implemented the (then) newly introduced 802.11g Wi-Fi standard, differentiating it from earlier devices that ran the slower 802.11a and b standards. A single AirPort Extreme, while a capable small office wireless router, can't always cover a SOHO environment's entire footprint.Fortunately, Apple has made it easy to extend a single AirPort. The status menu is available on computers using Mac OS X. AirPort Admin Utility AirPort Admin Utility is an advanced tool for setting up and managing AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express base stations. Use AirPort Admin Utility to adjust network, routing, and security settings and other advanced options. After you’ve set the port in Plex and set up the two rules (static IP and port forwarding) in your router, everything is all set. Simply hop back over or to the Plex Media Server control panel to double check the server status page, and enjoy. Plex Media Server generally works, by the magic of UPnP, right out of the box.
However, my other devices like the Androids can no longer connect to the server. Is there a secondary port I am missing that needs to be opened on the Uverse modems?
Any help would be grand.

Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n- After unpacking your Airport Extreme, connect the ethernet cable from your jack to the leftmost ethernet port on the back of the Airport. This is the WAN port marked with the small circular image. Next plug the AC adapter into the power port on the Airport and plug it into the wall.
- Once the Airport Extreme has been plugged into the network and powered on, the status light on the front will go through a series of colored flashes. When the status light glows solid green, your Airport has been initialized and is connected to the network. This may take a few minutes. If your status light fails to glow solid green, please consult your manual for status light explanations.
- Make sure the wireless card on your computer is enabled and turned on. Connect to your Airport Extreme, which will most likely appear as Apple Network followed by some letters.
- Next install the Airport software from the included CD. After installation, launch the Airport Utility application. This is located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS X, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows.
Please keep in mind that the Airport Utility is released with a new version every few months, so the screen shots you see below may not look exactly like what you see on your computer. - Select your base station, and then click Continue.
- Enter a Wireless Network Name and a Base Station Name and click Continue. Write these names down for future reference.
- Enter your Country and Radio Mode on the next screen. Using 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) is the proper choice in most cases. Click Continue.
- Select WPA2 Personal security on the next screen, then enter a Wireless Network Password and Verify it. This password must be between 8 and 63 characters. You should write this password down and keep it near your Airport Extreme in case you forget it. Click Continue.
- Select 'I connect to my local area network (LAN)' on the next screen and click Continue.
- Leave the default settings (Using DHCP) on the next screen and click Continue.
- If you are interested in connecting USB peripherals to your Airport, consult your manual for additional information. Otherwise leave the default settings and click Continue.
- Enter a Base Station Password and Verify it. Write this password down and keep it near your Airport Extreme. You will need it if you ever want to modify any settings for your base station. Click Continue.
- Click Update. Your Airport Extreme base station has been configured and will now restart. Quit the Airport Utility and connect to your new wireless network.
