Unable to connect to Plex Media Server after moving house and no internet connectivity

So I moved house and it's going to be a few weeks till I have Internet.
In the meantime, I'm struggling to connect to Plex within my home on both wired and wireless networks.

I also noticed that SSH is taking 10ish seconds to prompt for login.

Network seems to be OK as I can SFTP stuff from the Mac Mini at 8MB/s once it connects, just takes a few minutes.

In my troubleshooting I found that if I set UseDNS to no in sshd_config that I can connect instantly to SSH.

So I suspect the lack of WAN is causing some discovery issues on the local LAN for Plex.

I can AirPlay from an iOS device to the Apple TV and any of the AirPort Express around the house.

I also tried adding a server manually within iOS on my phone Plex app, but I can't see a way to force it to use than rather than trying to discover devices.

Anyone got any suggestions or know of a function for Plex that might try and do something with DNS when searching for or connecting to PMS?
