Comment on Unifi AP behind an extra switch: 2.4Ghz network stops working after ~30 minutes

I can imagine several causes:
-
more than one DHCP server in your network (most likely)
-
very wrong DNS setup in your network (unlikely, because I guess you would have given us a hint in that direction)
-
heavy downloading traffic and one cheap plastic device (router, switch etc.) runs out of memory

There’s only a single DHCP server, a Pihole, which also serves as DNS. Switch B is a cheaper switch, so that may be the culprit. I use it for heavy downloading from my Xbox and that is never a big issue. Speeds fluctuate from 100 to 900mbps (my max) but that’s not necessarily a switch problem.

Measure the time after the reboot of the AP until the next failure.
If it is always the same duration, then that excludes the memory problem. If it is a variable time, then that excludes the DHCP problem and probably also DNS.
