Just a few days ago, YouTube stopped streaming actual video content (channels, thumbnails, etc display OK) to any of my 8 iOS devices via native YT app or via Safari/Chrome. It appears to stop at the pre-roll ad (or initial frame) and the wheel keeps spinning until I get a YT error message. All of my other wireless devices (MacBook Pro, FireTV, game consoles, etc) stream YT just fine.
I have an Asus RT-AC68U router with the latest firmware (3.0.0.4.384_32738) installed. For the most part, all QOS, firewall features, etc. are set to its default settings. These settings haven't changed for over 3-years.
My suspicion is that the AT&T network is blocking YT traffic to iOS devices. The reason I suspect this is that I switched off the RT-AC68U routing capabilities and turned on the U-Verse router, and I'm still not getting any video streams. Also, the AT&T tech pushed "their" U-Verse settings, which turned on the AT&T router, and still no video streams.
YT app and Safari/Chrome access work just fine over my mobile data connection. And the YT app and Safari/Chrome access also works fine on my neighbor's WiFi network with Cox as their ISP.
Is it possible that AT&T is monitoring/blocking YT traffic to iOS devices? Also, could I have a bad modem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
