MR60 - Youtube slow to load
When I open youtube, there is a delay before the ad or content loads. This may be 15-30 seconds or more. This happens regardless of if it is a computer or a mobile device on the wifi network. When I disconnect and go with 5G on my phone, there is no delay. This does not seem to impact other streaming content (Netflix, Disney+ etc.).
I assume there is some setting that I need to change (or not, if it is protecting me). Looking for advice.
Thanks!
(Note: This is my second time posting - can't figure out why the MR60 does not come up as a model choice!)
This turned out to be an issue with my ISP. In the past they required a PPPoE connection with userid/pwd. They changed my connection to not require a password and is just a DHCP connection. All good now!

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
