  @dayglojago MTU is linked to each interface.

Under Windows, you can probably obtain the values using "netsh interface ipv4 show subinterface".

Figured it out!

 

Turns out that my homebridge VM was bogarding the IPv4 address, causing services hiosted on the non-VM windows machine to get confused and lose packets in reroute. I must have misconfigured homebridge when I set it up!

 

I first noticed it when I tried to doa whatismyip lookup and noticed that no IPv4 interface (or external IP) was being detected. What? Surely we haven't run out of v4 addresses yet. So I looked into it, and sure enough, homebridge was being a bit of a selfish dude, reserving IPs. I deleted the interface, bridge, reset the IP, and it worked great!

Great!
Hence not related to "since I got the TP-Link Deco"?  More a coincidence?

  @yves_b Yeah, I suppose one of the first things I did is set up homebridge before testing plex, so this makes sense! Indeed, more of a coincidence.
