Hey everyone, I am in Baltimore too and having the same problems as before. Sometimes YouTube comments don't show up at all. It loads fine on one video but then suddenly when I click a link, it says "You're not connected to the internet." This is weird because I ran new cat6 cables that are 100 feet long. Nothing has changed for me!

This happens randomly on four different computers running updated Windows 10 Pro with hard wired connections. Wireless works fine by the way. Even my old router, which I had to extend and unplug, worked great with wireless. My three laptops have no wireless problems at all. In fact, I bought a three-year-old white round router from Verizon that is the latest tech.

I know most people use default settings on their routers but am going to reset it anyway and try again. COD Warzone says "NAT Type Moderate." My friend said if certain ports are forwarded it should be open. That's what I'm wondering about because maybe there is a security setting messing things up...

I tried flushing DNS, releasing the IP address, and renewing them. I also used different browsers (though not Chrome).

I tried resetting the router twice, but nothing worked. It keeps giving me the same IP address. Last night, I couldn't watch my video stream from the desktop over hardwired cable. However, when I used it to broadcast wirelessly on channel 2.6ghz through or above three concrete walls and streamed without problems. This laptop has a GTX1060 card and that desktop is powerful at 2k+ resolution. Every single computer I own stays updated with security built in, comes with 16GB of RAM, an i7 processor, and graphics like RTX2080, RX5700XT or better. My cheaper laptop doesn't ever have buffering issues going through those same walls on the wireless connection. Get this - today at work, my work computer was on a filtered network and didn't load the actual video but showed other suggested videos instead. I used my cell phone to watch it RIGHT AWAY while there. At home, it looks like they are using similar type of filter networks... I'm wondering if I can compare how my wireless port settings match up with the wired ones. I only got a 65% score on that networking part of the A+ test exam just for one reason! LOL

Check that only one network card, wired or wireless, is turned on for any computer or laptop. Open Command Prompt and type ipconfig /all (no quotes) then press Enter. Make sure you can copy the whole thing without typing it over and over again. Then do this same thing on other working computers to see how things compare. Look at Task Manager or Resource Monitor and check if anything strange is running in the background. You could also test both tools to see what happens when streaming videos like YouTube, Vimeo or Netflix fails compared when they work fine. What changes?

Has anybody ever figured that out? I have the exact same problem, just in the big city near New York City.
