Can anyone suggest what I can do. For a while now I've been unable to watch any YouTube or on-line video (news articles etc) due to excessive buffering - every few seconds. I currently have OS X version 10.9.5 so not sure what the problem is. Would appreciate some ideas. Thank you!
MacBook Pro, iOS 7.1
1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.

Thank you for your help. Am actually using Chrome but will go ahead and shut down/restart the router and try and locate the 'Empty Caches' feature on Chrome. I appreciate your help and now know what to try.
