You tube not working on home network!

Posted this on software section but think it's better here.

For some reason youtube has stopped working on anything connected to the home network. On my phone it works fine connected to 4G but on the home network it just keeps trying to load and then says "error could not connect to server"

Don't know what could have caused it all of a sudden.

Which ISP are you with? What router are you using? Can other devices on the same network access YouTube?

Try using some other DNS servers, either by changing your DHCP scope options, or manually entering some DNS servers into one of your devices.

No. Both our phones will not work and also the PC.

Manually change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to test that.

-Try it on one PC first, if that works, set it back to auto and then change your router DNS to the ones above.

Probably dns

Could be a peering or caching issue.
