YouTube works 3g - no wifi?

[jnickell]

I can't seem to find anything about this in the forums. I've had my iPhone for a few months, but whenever I'm on wifi Youtube videos don't work. If I disable wifi, it works fine. It's not just one wifi either - any wifi I have had a chance to try it on thus far. Anyone got any fixes?

Thanks!

will safari work on Wifi?

Yep, everything else works great on wifi. No other issues with the rest of the phone.

are you trying the same youtube video or different ones?

sorry about the stupid questions, but they may help myself or someone else narrow down your problem

No problem, I just tested a few things and should clarify anyway. Every few video's will load okay, but most load endlessly or ridiculously slowly. Swap to 3g and it works great. The featured or most viewed seem to have a higher likelihood of loading. I seem to get the cannot connect to YouTube error a lot too. I can stand right next to my friend with a iPod Touch on the same wifi and his downloads lightning speed and mine will load endlessly.

reset all network settings (you will have to reenter any wifi passwords) see if this helps
