Root [Boost Mobile] some videos won`t play on wifi

[slymike123]

I don`t know if this is a root question or not but I am rooted with stock rom. On some web sites I can not play videos when on wifi but when I switch to 3g they play, is there some way that I can fix this.

Have you tried installing flash player? Not sure if that'd help or not, I know it helped more videos play on my phone.

Since they play over 3g but not wifi I'm thinking its probably an issue with the routers firewall settings...have you tried over different wifi networks or only just one?

Ya I have it. It`s not that big of a deal, it`s a pain having to switch back and forth.

What about other devices? PC, laptop? Do they stream video over that connection?

Have you accessed the wifi's settings page through a browser? I know some devices need special permissions in order to pull more bandwidth (like streaming video)...especially with mobile hotspots and such...other than that I can't think of anything else to try

I have dolphin and the stock browser just looked through the settings did not see anything for permissions.

The routers settings...

Using your PC or laptops internet browser go to http://192.168.1.1 and when prompted enter your username and password...this will open the routers settings page. Just check through the various settings in basic and advanced security settings to be sure there isn't something that could be blocking your warp from streaming video.

I went out and tried on another wifi connection and the same thing happened so I don`t know what the problem is, maybe with the phone. I`v been looking through all the settings in the browsers and I don`t see anything for wifi settings. Anyway like I said not that big of a deal just annoying, but thank you for your help.
