Youtube won't work on Wireless Network but works on Wired Network

Hi everyone,

We are a public school and we have had this problem for a long time now. If I can provide any more details, please let me know.

Following is the topology:

ISP -> Firewall(ip:192.168.2.252) -> Core Layer3 Switch(ip:192.168.2.251)

Core Layer 3 Switch is connected to WLC(ip:192.168.2.8) and 2951 Router(ip:192.168.2.253, serving DCHP server)

We are using Google's DNS(8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) in our network and couple months ago we tried to change the DNS servers to GoGuardian's(Filtering and Monitoring) DNS servers, but that day we have seen couple issues(like YouTube not working) so we had to revert back everything. Ever since we have had this issues even though everything is reverted back.

We can go to YouTube on wired network but not on wireless. We can ping google.com fine on wireless but not YouTube.com.

But can do nslookup for YouTube.com so DNS works fine.

BTW Ping to google.com and YouTube.com on wired network shows "Redirect Network". But remember Youtube.com works on wired. This "Redirect Network" does not happen on pinging on wireless network.

This ip is not even show org is Google.

Seriously lost here. Would WLC cache stuff and somehow affect us?

Some of current DHCP configs on our 2951 Router:

! ip dhcp pool WIRED network 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 default-router 192.168.2.251 dns-server 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 ! ! ip dhcp pool WIFI network 172.16.0.0 255.255.240.0 default-router 172.16.14.251 dns-server 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 lease 7 ! 

Wireshark shows TCP traffic to
