MR60 - Youtube slow to load

[Cyberchill]

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!

that fibre is connected to some ONT. 

What ONT is it?

Do you have IPv6 enabled? 

Are you using netgear armor, parental controls? 

Have you tried using a different dns from the stock one? you can try googles at 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

[Cyberchill]

Running the latest: V1.1.6.122_2.0.58

I have FTH which goes straight into the Router.  There is no modem.

Thanks!

So I have no idea where the ONT is, or what model it is.  Likely it is in a box near the curb.  My provider is MetroNet, formerly Jaguar Communications.  I will likely contact them to see if they have ideas as well.  Essentially I have a Cat6 cable going into my NG and it is configured with PPPoE.

IPV6 is enabled with a 6to4 tunnel and auto everything after that.

I am not using Armor or Circle.

I'll change the DNS to see if that helps.

Thanks!

It was indeed the DNS setting.  Once changing them to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 it was like magic.  Thank you!
