I'll get straight to the point. Everything works perfectly with the WiFi except for one thing. This would be Google related apps like Google play, YouTube. What happens is it you're downloading and updating an app it would get to around 80% and stop, buffer and cancel due to time. With YouTube, especially YouTube shorts, you would be able to load a few seconds before it buffers and then after a minute or so it would load the whole thing which doesn't make much sense because other things like games and other streaming services do not experience this. Using a VPN would eliminate this issue, Google apps update fine with it and installing VPNs work fine. This is probably something to do with VPNs not relying on Google servers. I spoke to a SKY technician yesterday and he said how it's to do with my SKY shield which can glitch and result in these problems so he disabled it for me, I restarted the router, and he said within 24 hours it should be fixed. However, 24 hours have passed, I am now approaching hour 28 and the issue still persists with all other devices like mobile phones on the network. Any solutions?
