I've a problem that when I'm surfing Facebook, Twitter, stackOverflow or any other site than YouTube, Pages usually takes lot of time to download. While, YouTube don't have any problems. I've a 2 Mbps speed and I have lots of devices connected to my network. When a device opens YouTube, it takes most bandwidth and other devices may take 15 kbps which does not make anything!
I've tried adjusting the QoS on my router and nothing happened. I'll provide screenshots of my router page if you want.
The question is: Is there a way to distribute bandwidth equally between different sites?
My router is tp-link td-w8901n .It is a modem router and unfortunately can't have Tomato or DD-WRT firmware
I have little knowledge in networking, so please try to simplify your answer. Thank you in advance!
I highly doubt youtube is taking up all the bandwidth and slowing down the rest. If this were the case, running 2 youtube sites concurrently would create havoc and I'm positive that doesn't happen either. For a site to load slow, that can have many possible causes. For example if DNS is really slow, a site may appear to load slow already, and that's where I think your problem is. – LPChip – 2019-02-28T12:27:21.820
1Do you mean other pages work slowly even when YouTube isn't using bandwidth? – user1686 – 2019-02-28T12:27:26.310
@LPChip The problem happens on the same device. If I tried to open a site and it is very slow or can't open, I open a youtube video and it is showing fine! I started to doubt the ISP as my friend is complaining about the same problem. Can you please tell me what did you meant by the DNS is slow? – Gamal Othman – 2019-02-28T12:35:23.573
@grawity Hmm, I can't judge that! but the devices on the network is a lot. I haven't tested that before. But, on the same device, youtube works perfectly while other sites don't. – Gamal Othman – 2019-02-28T12:37:14.297
Are the affected devices wired via Ethernet? And does the same problem also occur when only one device is connected? That is, when a computer is streaming YouTube, is browsing on the same computer slowed down as well? – user1686 – 2019-02-28T13:50:25.387
