For real?! What settings do you have?
When my internet went out, Plex was offline, even though it’s through the same router hardware as TVs and computers.
I want offline capabilities in new location in case power goes out, internet speeds vary, etc
This is the frist time I hear of that. Plex alway worked offline. Did you forget to add your subnet to the "no authentication" list?
Plex works offline if you set your subnet to the "no auth" list. However, a lot of smart TV clients require that you be online to run the client because they don't store the software locally. We run AppleTV boxes and have no issues using local library while Internet is out.
Thanks
