NightHawk MK63 generating a lot of traffic
Hi there,
I've noticed in the logs of my firewall, that both MR60 and MS60 are generating a huge amount of traffic to netgear.com domain.
This doesn't affect the bandwidth available as this is ICMP traffic but it generates a lot of useless noise in the logs.
I want to avoid not logging this traffic, but I'd like to understand why this traffic?
Thanks,

Re: NightHawk MK63 generating a lot of traffic
No one is able to explain why it needs to send 1 ping per second all the time? Surprising...

Re: NightHawk MK63 generating a lot of traffic
It should be resolved in next firmware but no release date communicated.

Re: NightHawk MK63 generating a lot of traffic
Same - this is unacceptable, phonein ghome 90,000 times every 24 hours isn't a small bug.
Netgear support also closed my ticket and since my 30 days was up won't allow me to reopen or create a new case.
Last time I buy anythign Netgear.

Re: NightHawk MK63 generating a lot of traffic
No news, no update, no new firmware...
Think the mesh will be removed and replaced with another solution.

Re: NightHawk MK63 generating a lot of traffic
@Christian_R appears the DNS resolver code in place does not do any caching, otherwise it would not query the DNS again for the default TTL, which is 86400 secs (1 day) for www.netgear.com [resp. default TTL = 900 (15 mins) for netgear.com SOA].

Re: NightHawk MK63 generating a lot of traffic
Th ebig question is why does it NEED to make 80,000 requests a day? I've blocked mine at this point, and am probably going with a Ubiquity setup instead this is just too much.

What ever the design intention is to do some Internet connection test every or every other second - this is what is _really_ going on there. But this implementation is multiplying the traffic .... DNS query .... ICMP .... both can't be right.

Re: NightHawk MK63 generating a lot of traffic
It's also hitting NTP every second.
Clearly no need for this.

Re: NightHawk MK63 generating a lot of traffic
Not sure, it's in ym PiHole logs hitting 3-4 hosts 85.000 times a day.
Tell me any valid reason this should do this?
