My ethernet works great for playing games, watching Netflix, and everything other than youtube videos. But, for some reason, whenever I try to load a youtube video it basically will load forever, or start playing for a few seconds then go to 144p, and then stop playing.

But, when I switch to Wi-Fi, the youtube videos load just fine. So, I'm stuck between switching from ethernet to Wi-Fi depending on what I'm doing, and my Wi-Fi is pretty spotty.

Any ideas?
 
It seems the you tube servers are having issue's.. But why wifi works better.. who knows.
 
when you flick over to ethernet, do you disable wifi?
if your ethernet adapter is set to auto IP's, try changing it to a static IP within your gateway range.
when was the last time your rebooted the modem?
and checked for firmware updates for it?
