E4200 is slow, YouTube HD videos
I have the cable @ 15Mbps down, 2Mbps upward. The cable line comes in the attic in my daylight basement. I have 3 Cat-5 cables, running through the House. 1 in the TV downstairs and then 1 to 2 rooms upstairs (which is my home office). In the Home Office, the Cat-5 is connected to a switch 24 ports. I plug my computer printer, NAS, etc. in this switch.
I have a WRT54G2 v1 I used in my router/access point.
I have a 1st & 3rd generation iPad. 3 bed iPad videos from YouTube in HD. About 6 weeks ago I started having some slow YouTube video playback on my iPad. They would play a few seconds, then pause to buffer, etc.. It was the videos started playing almost immediately and would never buffer.
With Wifi Analyzer for Android, I noticed that my neighborhood is saturated with wifi 2.4 GHz. So, I thought that the 2.4 Ghz band is saturdated and if I moved to a 5 GHz band, the buffering of YouTube would be fixed.
So, I bought an E4200 (v1 I think) Amazon. I bought this router/access point because it supports the 5 GHz band. He had also some other nice features like a separate comments wifi network.
I have it plugged into my cable modem and installing everything. Always slow YouTube, and now YouTube videos are slow on my laptop (connected via ethernet). I still get ~ 15Mbps via ethernet or wifi using the speed test page provided by my ISP, but YouTube videos are VERY slow.
Today, I called my ISP today and they made me plug my laptop directly into the modem. I was surprised to see 1080 p YouTube videos load quickly and never buffer.
So, I returned to my WRT54G2 and plugged my laptop. Always get quick videos.
At this point, I now use the WRT54G2 as my router/access point, and I have configured my E4200 as an AP and plugged into ethernet.
I'm on my iPad connected to the strip of the 5 GHz on the E4200, which is connected to the WRT54G2 using ethernet, and I can watch YouTube videos without problem.
It seems that when the E4200 is used as a router, I'm getting poor performance of YouTube. My speed on other sites seemed to go well, including video streaming from Amazon.
I really want to use the E4200 as my router/access point because it allows the network to comments. And then I set up the WRT54G2 as Access Point to provide the best coverage WiFi and connect it to the switch in my home office (because it is higher in the House, I suspect it would provide a stronger signal).
My question is: is this a configuration issue with the E4200? Or is it possible the E4200 is defective and I should send him a replacement?
It turned out that the DIF is that YouTube does not like a MTU of 1500. I dropped it to 1 460 and it works much better. I would like to know if there is a bigger problem however.

Videos r play slowly, cannot play music and I can't not all sounds
After noticing my hp DV6936us running slow when I play any video from Youtube, new videos or just WMP. I found something wrong in the "Device Driver"; "Microsoft ISATAP Adapter #8"which is listed under "Network adapters" has a yellow triangle to her attache. ". I do allow me to back rool the pilot, "update of Microsoft Research" tells me the driver software is up to date and "Scan for hardware changes" does not answer at all. Also my songs on WMP will not play either and here, the message is: "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. For any additional help, click Help on the Web. "When I click I get:
This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
What should I do to recover my videos play and sound in my pc? In addition, anyonelse met simular problems? I wonder if it has to do with one of the last update of Windows. Thank you. Note: You answer directly to my Email address is removed from the privacy of e-mail * *.

Not available on YouTube HD videos
A few days ago, I was unable to watch videos from YouTube in 720 or 1080. Videos play very well, but the only option available in quality is 360 and that's it. Even on the videos that I know can be viewed on the parameters that are higher, especially the HD ones. I don't know what is happening. Nothing looks bad on my end and I have no virus. I hope it's something on the end of YouTube and that this problem will be solved upward soon. I also note that the option of speed on the videos are back and appearing whenever something seems to be wrong with the videos. For me at least. Any ideas on what this might be? Everyone knows this too? I hope that it goes back to normal, but it has been a few days and it's always like that.

about to buy a video. It contains options for speed on the overview of the site, do get the same options to slow down the video down when I buy the video?
The videos is not 'options '. They are exactly as described. You can use first to add slowed to any video. Correction of the one who is already slowed to normal speed may not produce get results.
But to answer the question, the videos are exactly as in preview. It would be to you on how you change them and with which application.

I have a perfect wifi signal, so that's why my youtube so slow to buffer video?
I have an excellent wifi signal.full bars.so my question is why youtube stops and departure for the buffering so at night.it takes 2 hours to watch a 1 hour video lol
I use the wifi tether app on my htc evo. IM attached to my pc. This is whence my wifi. I probably just I need the signal booster.
Perhaps, but I think you'll find that "mobile Internet" (vs a real WiFi connection) won't ever consistent or reliable enough for "streaming" videos or music on your computer downloads. Ditto for the Windows Update/automatic updates.
.. .unless you are outside or right by a window AND a block or two) AND within the Visual acuity of a mobile Tower or antenna.

Very slow download music VIDEO, you tube
You tube extra slow without warning, I've tried everything for 4 weeks now
Hello
1. what web browser are you use and which operating system is installed on the computer?
2. the problem occurs with all the videos that you play through YouTube?
If YouTube is buffering means that the video is not sent to your computer quite quickly. This may be due to a slow internet connection, sharing the connection with multiple computers, or if you also download other files at the same time.

Safari freezes on YouTube HD videos
Hello
I have a MBP early 2015 with no upgrade. Whenever I try to watch a 720 p or of superior quality videos on YouTube, Safari keeps after some time of freezing with the icon of the Rainbow or forwarding, change the size of the screen etc. The mouse does not freeze btw. I have not tried other Web sites, and Chrome works very well. I tried clearing cache, history and remove the extensions and finally Reset Safari. Nothing has worked.
Everyone knows these? Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
