I should be clearer about this. The media devices send a lot of traffic. They manipulate the wifi landscape in proprietary (remember the TCP throughput wars 20+ years ago?) or at least unexpected ways.

Stupid wifi access point follows "conventional wisdom" and drops UDP traffic. Doesn't bother the media devices, but 1980s stub resolver logic isn't up to competing with 100,000:1 packet contention and doesn't provide any way to do traffic shaping.

 So what exactly are the media devices doing to screw up dns resolution
 between the osx laptop and the local dns server?

Dropping UDP replies. As a consequence, TCP is never tried. 1980s stub resolver logic.
