DNS server on edgerouter lite

[Verang]

A bit of a long shot but here's my problem.

 

Youtube seems to run slow (very choppy or doesn't load) if i set my edgerouter lite's dns servers to either google dns or opendns on ipv4 and ipv6. I tried using this method and this method to set up the dns through the command line. The dns servers show up fine when I use

show dns forwarding nameservers

 

I'm a bit new to the command line so i only copied what they put (accounting for eth0 being my WAN).

 

However, if I set the dns through windows "Network->Adapter->ipv4/6", it seems to have no issues that I can tell. Videos playback smoothly.

 

Am I just configuring it incorrectly?

I set mine to google DNS using the web UI like in link 2. I rarely have YouTube issues, I mostly to find it to be a ISP throttling issue (goes away with a VPN)

 

here is a PIC of my setup.

That's what I had it set to originally but I am using ipv6 now which introduces the issues. I could switch back to just ipv4, but wanted to know if I could get it working with both.
