AC68U as plex server

[Naxo]

Hello,
¿Can I use the ac68u as plex server?
I have a Pc always running as plex server with a HDD usb, and I would like to use the router as server. It's posible?
Thanks

No. You can get a low end NAS to use as a Plex Server provided your clients do not require video transcoding ( remuxing is generally ok).

You can actually.

No transcoding or remuxing with this though, so your clients have to be able to play the file natively. (For this I like the wdtv line).

I wouldn't recommend it - as a DLNA server, it's probably ok, but the content-type and bit rates should be appropriate to the clients - transcodes reduce quality, even at best settings, and put a heck of a load on one side or another if trying to do it real-time...

Well it's unable to do any transcoding, so it's pretty much a glorified dlna server. Mostly I think people like it for content management and the nice interface. I personally do not run it on my router, it's just something I whipped up for fun.
