Orbi seems to be reaching out to Netgrear often.. normal?

Question

&nbsp;Hello,&nbsp;&nbsp;Router Firmware VersionV2.0.0.64&nbsp;I have noticed that the Orbis are reaching out to netgear, and what looks to be the CND that hosts the site frequently, about every 2 mins.&nbsp;&nbsp;2018-04-08&nbsp;15:30:40IPv4OmittedgatewayOK&nbsp;(forwarded)-&nbsp;Blacklist2018-04-08&nbsp;15:30:33IPv6www.netgear.comgatewayOK&nbsp;(forwarded)-&nbsp;Blacklist2018-04-08&nbsp;15:30:33IPv6d3jdtixm7cvu7y.cloudfront.netgatewayOK&nbsp;(cached)-&nbsp;Blacklist2018-04-08&nbsp;15:30:33IPv4www.netgear.comgatewayOK&nbsp;(forwarded)-&nbsp;Blacklist2018-04-08&nbsp;15:28:21IPv4OmittedgatewayOK&nbsp;(forwarded)-&nbsp;Blacklist2018-04-08&nbsp;15:25:18IPv6www.netgear.comgatewayOK&nbsp;(forwarded)-&nbsp;Blacklist2018-04-08&nbsp;15:25:18IPv6d3jdtixm7cvu7y.cloudfront.netgatewayOK&nbsp;(cached)-&nbsp;Blacklist2018-04-08&nbsp;15:25:18IPv4www.netgear.comgatewayOK&nbsp;(forwarded)-&nbsp;Blacklist2018-04-08&nbsp;15:25:13IPv6www.netgear.comgatewayOK&nbsp;(forwarded)-&nbsp;Blacklist2018-04-08&nbsp;15:23:21IPv4OmittedgatewayOK&nbsp;(forwarded)-&nbsp;2018-04-08&nbsp;14:18:43IPv6ftp.updates1.netgear.com.edgesuite.net&nbsp;Seems to reach out about every 2 mins.&nbsp; Are these communications necessary?&nbsp; I can imagine, but unknown,&nbsp; that the last exmple is important to check for updates, but the rest?&nbsp; This is interesting.&nbsp; My questions is why are these necessary?&nbsp; I would like to blacklist these unless they are necessary. I have not pulled a pcap yet to see what wlse is happening yet, but curious.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any one else see this or know why?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you,&nbsp;&nbsp;JC&nbsp;
