About a week later, I logged in to my Ubiquiti Network Manager Controller and saw that my Ubiquiti UniFi Security Gateway (USG) was no longer sending over data to the controller software. I still thought little of this issue, since the USG was still routing and blocking unsolicited traffic.

The following weekend I decided I wanted to restore full USG functionality in the Network Manager Controller software, so I decided to simply reboot the USG. This, unknowingly, was my first mistake. After turning the USG back on, I found that the Network Manager Controller software would not hand out new IP addresses from the DHCP scope. I could only attach to the network with a physical connection and a static IP address self-assigned on the same subnet as the USG. I tried to reboot the device several times, but it was all in vain. I realized the device had a deeper issue.
