[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 991249"] Welcome, and congratulations! No, YouTube should not be unbearably slow at all. If its slow loading, that could be an internet-connection issue. Your other issues would tend to make me think in that direction. Try this: 1. power down the router, the modem and the computer. Unplug the modem and router. 2. Leave them alone for about a minute. 3. Plug them back in *in this order* - modem, then router, then power up the computer. That should clear up any issues if the root cause was the modem or the router. Another thought: have you encrypted your wifi network? Is it possible someone is leeching your signal? [/QUOTE]
