Having this weird problem where our home Wi-Fi is fast on our phones, but slow on both our desktop PCs. However, while streaming, uploading and downloading files it works fine.
Modem: Optus HUAWEI E5186
Router: Asus RT-N10
One pc is using Belkin F9L 1001v1 wireless USB adapter and the other has an Asus PCE-N15 11n Wireless LAN PCI-E card
Any ideas on what it could be?
I should say...YouTube is slow. Torrenting is fine.

Neither of those can do 5GHz, whereas your phones are probably significantly more modern.
Even if it's not causing your problem, both your cards are cheapo, ancient, and shit, and you should replace them as a matter of principle.
Even an entry-level card like http://pcpartpicker.com/product/tTdqqs/gigabyte-wireless-network-card-gcwb867di should be a massive improvement.

Hm, that actually could be related to it. I'll have a look into this.
It'd be good if there was any other quick solution. This might not be it anyway.

You can always try moving them next to the router and plugging them in with a CAT5 and seeing if the problem goes away.

Forgot I've actually done that. Should've mentioned it. It was still slow when I tried this.
Well, this means it's either the signal itself/ISP or modem, right?
Could it be a malware or some network setting on both computers? Sounds a bit unlucky/unlikely.
wireshark/virus scan to see if you have a botnet or malware
on your routers launch page check the bandwidth monitor or see if you have too many connections on 1 frequency

If it's literally just YouTube, it could be that your ISP's colo'd Youtube CDN servers are gash.
In which case, you can use TCPView to see where the video's coming from, and then tracert to see if it's your ISP, and if it is, block it at your router. This will cause YouTube to fall back to YouTube servers run and hosted by Google, which won't be gash.
