TCP Latency and DNS retry issues

UJay

Hi

In my network environment, i am noticing a lot of TCP Latency and DNS retry issues. 

Currently i am using Unifi Switches and Unifi APs as network devices and they channel the traffic to the XG-115.

I have reached out to Unifi support team to see what can be done to fix these TCP Latency and DNS retry issues. They came back with a suggestion (after going thru all log files) to enable Smart Queue (or similar) for internet traffic. They mentioned that "every router/firewall manufacturer might have a different TE for it, but fq_codel based feature is used mostly for buffer bloat/latency."

My question to you all

Are there similar option available in XG115, which i can try to see whether TCP Latency and DNS retry issues (at clients) can be resolved?

Rough sketch of my network is as follows

    Hello,

    this sounds more like a simple DNS problem or the famous MTU-size problems with the uplink, rather than something complex or complicated thing inside the firmware of an AP or switch or the firewall.

    When you say DNS retry issues, what does that mean from an endpoint view at your LAN/WiFi? Do you have timeouts of , let's say, 15-30 seconds before your request is resolved?  How is your DNS setup? Did you troubleshoot this?

    Hi Philipp

    End points are LAN and all these clients using WIFI APs. These clients are mix of IoT devices, Laptops and Mobile phones

    I am pointing the DNS entries as google IPs (8.8.8.8). There is no local DNS server. Even at the XG-115, the DNS ids are set to Google IPs 

    Clients are not login into any Microsoft Servers. 

    Firmware of both APs and XG-115 firewall are on latest versions.  

    I have tried all know fine tuning options as well as followed recommendations from Ubiquiti Unifi tech support. But the progress is negligible. 

    these are some of the error messages i see at Unifi Network Dashboard.
