Youtube NOT working on Guest Network

[crazyontech]

This is my setup:-

Router : TM-AC1900 running Merlin 384.4
Client : TCL Roku TV and Apple TV 4K

When i try to connect through a regular wireless network, everything seems to work fine. However, when i try to connect the Apple TV/Roku TV on a Guest Network (5Ghz), the Youtube videos are NOT loading.

The Guest network setting is as follows:-
Authentication Method : WPA2-Personal
Access Intranet : Off
Time remaining : Unlimited Access

Note:
1. WAN DNS setting is configured to use OpenDNS. I am NOT sure what is wrong.
2. I am running AB-Solution for Adblocking.

Appreciate if anyone could throw some light on this.

I wonder if it’s worth turning Intranet access on and seeing if that makes any difference...... just thinking of things that are different between the networks?

Yes...I tried turning ON the Intranet Access and then the Youtube is working....This is pretty weird because, one of the advantages of Guest network is that, we can keep the devices out of other devices in the Network...Thanks for your suggestion.

Some streaming apps (including Youtube) are not working , while other do work...As i mentioned in my earlier post, when i turn ON the Intranet access i am able to access Youtube...However, the main reason i created a guest network was to keep these streaming devices out of other devices connected to my Network.

Honestly, I never thought it would work because I couldn’t see the connection, but I thought it might be something at least we could eliminate. I’ve no idea why it worked, and, as you say, we want to keep guest network devices off the Intranet.

Did you try it with just the adblocker disabled? It might be some strange bug/interaction with that.
