My existing router bricked itself yesterday. I had to buy another one, got it installed, but can not get an appropriate IP address no matter if I assign static IP or let it configure through DHCP. This screenshot is of EMBY, but all plugins are the same way. Any ideas?

Show your global networking and interface settings as well as jail network settings.

Changing a router should have no impact on your separate NAS device. My guess is that there's a configuration change between the old and new router (some new subnet, or something), and FreeNAS automagically updated its main network adapter in response.

I would double check the network settings for the host: what is the adapter, and does it have all the correct IP addresses as expect? Then, check the network settings for the plugins: are they referring to the correct adapter?

There's a possibility that the bridged connections will need to be remade to cope with the change in the host's network.

What you mentioned I think is the reason, my old network was 192.168.1.1 while the new one was 192.168.50.1

I first tried to change the router to the 192.168.1.1 but it did not like me setting it manually like this. It's an ASUS RT-AX82U. The old router was a Netgear R7000. The reason I changed to ASUS is because I've had 2x Netgear routers brick themselves in less than 2 years. I'm done with that brand.

You'll have to show us your global networking and interface settings as well as jail network settings as @John Digital asked.

Have you redone all the networking configs at the host for the new subnet?

Found the culprit, forgot to change under the Global Network Config: Default Gateway and Nameserver. Thanks for the help, all is working now!
