For weeks now I have been trying to get my media server up on my smart tv, i am really frustrated so am reaching out to the community
The setup works perfectly with my BT Homehub 3 but it keeps dropping speed to 2mb on my wireless laptop so i have retired it and am now using the plus net wireless router technicolor tg582n
my setup is as follows
Plusnet Fibre, Servioo Media Server running through my Main Pc which connects via ethernet to my access point, which then goes through a homeplug to my netgear hub downstairs and then into the TV via ethernet
TV has internet connected
PC has media servers in home network router page
I have enabled the predefined servioo access rule to the tv (the forwarded ports are correct)
My Router can see my media servers
UPNP makes no difference on/off
Tried gaming mode makes no difference on/off
Extended security is off
If anybody can help i would really appreciate it

If you're not comfortable with telnet you can make the change by editing the routers config file.
eg
Use the routers "backup" function to get a copy of the config file, then make the following change to the text file using notepad -- change enabled to [font=Verdana]disabled[/font]
After making the change save the file and use the routers "restore" function input the file.

Only other thoughts:
1) is it a firewall issue on the PC
2) have you tried rebooting all the devices
3) ensure all devices are on a dynamic IP address, static lan IP's can sometime cause problems with this router.

Yes i rebooted everything, still no dice
However I set up an xbox and it finds the plex media server but not the servioo (any will do i don't care lol)
The TV has a fixed ip address, i thought this would be needed for the port forward rule, I shall try dynamic address tomorrow as kids are watching a film
Routers media service isn't disabled, I shall try that too cheers
Thanks again

Why have you port forwarded to the TV?

In the 30+ plus years I've been in IT have never heard this before and doesn't the fact that you are telling the OP to "always use the same IP address" invalidate your statement by effectively making the address static?

What difference does it make issuing the address via DHCP?

There are some benefits though - e.g. if you change your DNS server in DHCP then all of the clients will get that updated DNS server. There are other DHCP options that can be set as well.
Obviously in the home there are fewer devices to manually set, but when you're running a LAN for an office it's easier to manage it all in a central place, and old habits die hard!

Yes, I can see the obvious benefit of the DNS, Gateway, DNS Domain etc, but I'm more curious about the Port Forwarding comment made by NPR. Surely if you were implementing a port forwarding rule common sense would dictate that you use a static IP or it is simply a "Best of both worlds" using this approach? i.e. the benefits of the aforementioned but still having the ability to port forward. Now, just having typed that I can see that it must be.
On a related note I (sadly) keep a spreadsheet of the items on my network. Having recently bought a Kindle Fire TV box I went to add it to the spreadsheet only to notice that it would be the 31st item on the list! As you can imaging keeping track of this I'll admit it tedious, so I can see the appeal of DHCP.
Well it's always good to learn something new and I may well start to adopt this.

That's from years of experience with using Thomson / Technicolor routers, both my own observations and those helping others with these routers in various forums.
We can only speculate on the reason, but these routers have been seen to have more problems with port forwarding to devices on static IP addresses than to devices on a dynamic IP. The same goes for UPnP.
Part of the reason may have something to do with the routers scrip which clears and recreates PF firewall rules when the router reboots (it may or may not also do this at other times such as when the target device sleeps or is otherwise disconnected). It may also have something to do with the devices MAC address being more relevant than the IP address for the routers firewall script and I believe for routing over the LAN.
As I said, that's speculation I've never been that bothered to investigate the actual cause behind it.
As for ticking "always use the same IP address", that creates a static DHCP address by placing a permanent entry in the routers ARP table for the target device. There's only a temporary entry in the ARP table for devices on a automatic IP or devices assigned a static IP address , this times out at some stage ( I think it's 10 minutes IIRC).
I'm sure this helps the routers PF script keep track of the device for which it need to do the PF.

The HH3 has a gateway address of 192.168.1.1
The TG582 has a gateway address of 192.168.1.254
Could it be the network setting in the tv were not changed when swapping router?
It's a trap I've fallen in to a few times
As for a dhcp address, although I believe the TG582 prefers this I think I've see that some TV don't (Panasonic IIRC)
