My new Air 2 stutters, lags and buffers while my Galaxy Tab S works seamlessly "YouTube related"

Ok,,, so now my brand new Air 2 freezes and buffers during playback of YouTube content while my new Samsung Tab S 10.5 sitting right next to it plays perfectly with no issues, no lag and no buffering.

I can have both tablets sitting side by side, playing the exact same video at the exact same time, and the Tab S 10.5 works amazingly PERFECTLY while my new Air 2 lags, buffers, freezes and stutters,,,, and will also drop video quality drasticly to a fuzzy blurry picture.

This happens more than often, I would go so far as to say almost all the time.

I have tried the iOS TouTube app and also done a straight download from Safarie with just bypassing the iOS app and it made no difference,,, I have also uninstalled and re-installed the YouTube iOS app several times hoping that would fix the problem.

Anyone have and ideas on a fix for my Air 2,,,,, both tablets are WiFi only and I have a very strong home WiFi signal /connection.

I have also exchanged my Air 2 several times thinking I might just have a bad iPad,,, that has not made a difference either.

Thanks for any help in advance.
