So mine both restored working at the same exact second. speedtest and youtube. Just saying...

Oh I’ve had my internet troubles fixed several times by going to that domain. Saw one guy write a script to ping it every 15 minutes.

Now to be fair, When in a meeting, I’ve al had to track down the kids and all devises that could possibly access YouTube.

After a really bad hour of Zoom; I leaned that you can watch YouTube on the switch. Clever kids.

I locked away a 10 year kindle just out of principe for that one.

You may want to invest in an IQrouter or an equivalent DIY, though if you DIY and your issue is wifi congestion you'll find that only applying fq_codel to the modem side won't help with the wifi side.

You can firewall their devices. I used to do that to my dad's cloud-based cameras back when I was in highschool. He never figured it out. Always assumed it was the ISP's fault.

Most routers support some form of qos

Sounds plausible, my first guess when youtube went down was that my connection was messed up
