Youtube not working

Hi,

Just did a new build and Youtube videos aren't working. They load about 3 seconds, play that and then stop. About a minute later they start again but only playing audio, the video is frozen.

Any suggestions?

Okay, what do you think it might be?

I thought it might be a problem with my wireless card - to test that I'd need to drag everything nearer the modem for ethernet :( Will do so if you think it could be the problem.

And yes Adobe is all fine. The fact that things start playing tells me that this probably isn't the problem. (?)

if you think it's your wireless card try Ethernet cable.
and try what huilun02 suggested.

Will try another browser. I did try with Internet Explorer but... internet explorer. :p

Will update in a few minutes.

EDIT: IE had the same problem. But it loaded about 15 seconds this time.

EDIT 2: I also think it is a WiFi problem. I will try Ethernet and update later on sometime. Thanks for your help :)

So I lugged the tower and monitor nearer the modem and Youtube works fine with a wired connection.

I have emailed TP-Link support and hopefully they can do something - I have a feeling that I just got a bad unit.

Thanks again for your help :)
