So I can only summise that there is something in the AP setup that causes some strange DNS behaviour over a few days before it all stops working and clearly the wired network is fine. As the only difference is that my daughters PC is connected to the U6-LR and my sons is directly to a Gen 2 24 port POE (unifi) that it must be the AP.

We need to isolate where is issue is. I get what you're saying that it's only clients connected to the AP that are affected but that AP is connected by a cable to a switch port. If there's a problem with either of those then only wirelessly connected clients will be affected but that doesn't necessarily mean that the AP is to blame.

When the problem is there, can the problematic devices ping things on the internal network? Try to ping the UDMP. Can they ping things on the internet by IP? Try to ping 8.8.8.8.

Hence why I asked if you can ping things on the internal network.
 
I think I posted this earlier but when the problem manifested itself, the internal network still seems to work but its slower to resolve the IP to a name, e.g. I have an Synology NAS 1821+ which has a domain name of storage.domain.com with an IP of 192.168.1.9 set statically. Typing the name in to a browser takes a while longer to resolve and load the page... in addition mapped network drives for folder redirection (again back to the NAS) was very slow at loading. After plugging in to the wired network everything was normal, no issues or slowness in loading... what I didn't do was any ping tests across the local network.

Externally, I was getting DNS timeout errors when trying to use an external DNS provider such as google via 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 but at the same time the wired network had no such trouble; again web pages on the wifi networked PCs where slow to load.

And all of this is set up in the Network section of the UniFi Controller?

No. the only thing set in the Unifi Controller is a static IP and the control requirements for the network hardware all other DHCP/DNS options are assigned by the windows servers. The UDM Pro is doing firewall duties and routing between the network and the internet currently as I'm not using vlans or other subnets yet.

Can you show your AP and Wi-Fi settings please?

It sounds like an unusual setup.
 
Is there another way to run a Controller, Network, Gateway services and Protect in a small format? i.e. not a rack based device?

At the moment i'm running the CKG2+ and USG, there doesn't seem to be an alternative.

I'm just getting prepared for a big bump in throughput which the USG may or may not support well.

Dream Router or Dream Machine.

Dream Router IIRC struggles at high throughput so perhaps look at the Dream Machine.

They don't support protect. How well do they work alongside the CKG2+?

For a faster connection look at the Dream Machine instead, I think you can change the HDD in that.

There is likely a way to keep using the UKG2+ for protect and just use the UDM for Network Application and the gateway.

Sadly I don't think you can upgrade the SSD on the Dream Router. I'm not entirely sure what you're meant to do with protect on 128GB, bit of an odd thing for them to do. I currently have a 2TB drive in my UKG2+.

Whoosh go the goalposts. If you had this requirement you should have been clearer about it up-front.

Just from a quick scout around the Ubiquti forums, it looks like you can move everything over to the Dream Machine/Router and disable everything except Protect on the UKG2+. Unsure how well it works though, but might be worth a shot.
 
Need some help connecting to my Gen 1 Cloud Key (CK).

After changing ISPs I decided to reset my ER-X router and changed the subnet. All sorted apart from the fact I can't access the CK through the android app. It shows in the app under Local Consoles with the correct IP but when I tap it, it asks for my credentials, accepts them but then won't connect and just says try agin.

I can access the CK via browser and can see it has the correct IP, I can ping it fine too.

I can't see any options on the android app where I can delete the console either so not sure where to go next. Any ideas?
