So after my last post yesterday the fix worked for about 12 hours then it was back to being slow again.. I don’t get it.. Oh well I’ll keep trying different things and maybe someday my iPhone 4 safari and YouTube will be fast again.

Thank you so much Mr. Tangent did what u said and wow what a difference!! Youtube and Safari works amazingly faster iv been struggling so much with my iphone4 the day I got it(first week released) I thought it was because it was one of the first batch sent out! I still have trouble connecting aoutmaticly to wifi very often I have to go in and hit off-on button in the network settings to recognize my wifi but it might just be my router! Anywho thanks again for your help!

I’ve tried EVERY “solution” and nothing has worked. Thankfully I found this link which IS the only solution:

http://appletoolbox.com/2010/05/ipad-slow-youtube-fixes/

Tap Settings
Tap Wi-Fi on the left-hand side
Tap the blue arrow next to your current Wi-Fi network
Tap the “DNS” field and enter the following: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Exit Settings”

I copied and pasted that from the Apple Support forum where I found it. The DNS settings above are from http://www.opendns.com which is a free DNS service that speeds everything up, especially Youtube. It went from unbearably slow, unreliable and intermittent to purring like a kitten and loads instantly every time now. Try it. It works. All the other stuff (changing encryption, changing/rerouting ports, turning off encryption, etc.) is all a waste of time.

Resetting my wireless routed to factory settings worked wonders for me, wifi on my iPhone 4 was unbearably slow. I tried all of the above and nothing worked, then I did a factory settings reset for my router now it all nice and fast

You may want to give this link a try if you still see slow wifi on iphone 3gs. It is the solution that worked for me. Although this could be considered a device issue, I think the router config solutions work well. I don't see the slowness on most routers, but I was experiencing it on my home router, which is a Linksys.

.. I just got 2 iphones last week (3gs – 8gig)& same buffer problem on almost Every WiFi I can find at any store or home!!!!Even called ATT & their tech gad the same problem on her i4 …I can play only if i hit ‘pause’ & let the buffer run through a third of the video – then it may not catch up for about 5mins – seems like the FREE wifi does not work smoothly for video – but the PAID 3g WiFi works fine on my phones – am switching to a couple og Droids this Sunday & hope I do not have the same problems… Good luck Apple John C
