Hey guys

I'm having this problem lately over my wifi connection: the videos on youtube and some other sites take ages to load, in all the devices connected to the network, including cell phones. The thing is, the internet speed is normal(8 mbps). Any thoughts?

That is not a very fast connection if you use HD video especially with several devices connecting at once. Issue can also be the wireless. Test with all the wireless devices off, and with the test system in the same room as the router. Did you reboot the router? That should be the first thing you do.

I needed to setup a second AP for wireless in my house, on just the single router, once 2 devices were streaming on wireless, there was a lot of delay. On a ethernet cable, the same systems worked fine.
