D7800 router sending DNS query for domain “.” 15 times per second
Router firmware is V1.0.1.56
I have setup a local Pihole DNS server and pointed my router to it for DNS lookups. There have been 620,000 lookups since I set it up yesterday evening! The Pihole log file is full of lines like these:
Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: query[A] . from 192.168.0.1 Nov 20 11:32:28 dnsmasq[9115]: cached . is NODATA-IPv4
The netgear router 192.168.0.1 is sending 15 DNS lookups per second for the domain "."
How do I get a fix from Netgear for this? The community seems to be the only way I can raise the issue?

I idea what the router is doing. Does not seem normal. I might do a reset and reconfigure.
I run Pi-Hole as well, but I also have it acting as the DHCP server. Doing that you get individual lookups in the log by device and gives the site being contacted.
