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

Disabling Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)in a D-Link 300 (i.e. the same Doran suggested about QOS 802.11e) seems to be working for me. A little bit at random, though. Sometimes it works excellent and simetimes the same crap.

All this solutions didn’t help me. My app is still so slow that it is unbelievable. Sometimes it doesn’t load movies at all. I have brand net 3gs with os 3.1.2 and nothing is fixed and nothing help. I tried all solutions from whole web. Damn apple. It is always one thing that doesn’t work. But always.

Thanks for this article. I had the same exact problem with iPhone OS 3.1.2 and always thought it’s my internet. when I set my Linksys router to B only, youtube loads faster and more importantly, ALL the way. also, iPhone speedtest app showed about 5 times faster speed (2.5 mbps vs 200-400k before)

I only have one linksys router so I am not sure if this is just linksys router problems

I found a tweak which is to use m.youtube.com from Safari instead of regular youtube site.

Appears to have been fixed in 3.0

Had the same problem with iphone 3G and Belkin Mimo router. Left 802.11g/b on and turned off QOS 802.11e, as apple site states iphone is only g & b compatible. Now it flies on wifi, youtube loads instantly and videos play with no lag. Downloading from app store no longer times out, and my hotmail app works perfectly. I have also installed Skype and this runs without problems too.
