Alarming DNS requests every 10 minutes

Since my previous extender was not working properly

https://community.netgear.com/t5/WiFi-Range-Extenders-Nighthawk/Extender-disconnects-at-specific-time-each-day/m-p/1988963

I decided to buy a new one (AC750 WiFi Range Extender (EX3110)), trusting again NETGEAR (but now I am not sure I was right to trust them/you).

 

This one seems to work fine, but it makes a DNS query for "www.netgear.com" (exactly) every 10 minutes:

 

Do you know why it is doing that and how I can stop this alarming behaviour?

(after that request I guess that it will transfer some data to "www.netgear.com")

 

Thanks
