Why isn’t the video on all devices through the TP-Link router?

Hello, I have a TP-Link Archer c20 modem, Windows 10. But here it seems that the version of Windows will not help, because on my phone it is the same. The problem is: the Internet is on, I can go to any site safely, but nowhere can I watch videos, clips, movies (Youtube, movie sites). They just won’t turn on, won’t play!

Videos on YouTube and other sites are not playing through the router

And also can not update anything over the Internet, Stim is not loaded (Dota wanted to play). In short, I can’t do anything over the internet except read the news, and sit on watsapp. Everything was fine before. Someone somewhere in the settings something disabled, I can not understand…. Can you help?

Answer

Hello. I already answered you in the comments, I wanted to clarify some information about the problem, but you didn’t answer my questions there. I understand that through the router video is not loaded, and just a black screen on the same YouTube? Although, I see in the screenshot that the previews are loading and viewing frames on hover works the same way.

Did videos used to load through the same TP-Link Archer c20?

Someone has disabled something somewhere in the settings, I can’t figure it out.

Are you sure it’s because of a change of settings? The router settings?

Since the problem with video playback on all devices (you wrote about it in the comments), then the reason is either in the router or on the ISP side. To check, you can connect the internet directly to your laptop and see if the video will load on YouTube, other sites, and if Stim will work. You can call support and ask them and describe the problem in detail.

If indeed some parameters of TP-Link Archer c20 were changed, you can do a factory reset and set it up again according to these instructions. You can update the firmware of the router.

Also sometimes videos on YouTube and other sites may not load due to incorrectly configured MTU parameter on the router. Read more in the article: Pages don’t load completely. Browser does not fully open sites and pictures

Also try using a VPN. Enable free VPN in the same Opera and try to start playing video on websites.
