Slow YouTube streaming with Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 MK62 system

Hello Gang,

 

I purchased a Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 (MK62) system to up my signals for those dead spots.  I have 17 devices connected in the household.  Everything seems to work great except watching a YouTube video on my 2019 iMac.  The video plays but the sound is distored and like "slow". I've watched these same videos on my phone using the same Wifi connection and it works fine.  Are there any issues known with playing YT vids using this mesh routing system? Any help or dialogue is appreciated.

 

Hardware MR60

Firmware v1.0.1.62

Main computer is 2019 iMac macOS Catalina 10.15.2

Is the iMac connect to the wireless or wired? If it is on the wireless have you tried to connect it via ethernet and see if this same issue happens?

I would also suggest updating the firmware on the MR60 and MS60.  The current version(s) can be found here:  https://www.netgear.com/support/download/
