I am seeing DNS requests from the main device in a mesh setup even though the device in AP mode.
Why is this? I don't see why an access point should resolve DNS for netflix.com , amazon.com ,reddit.com ,youtube.com etc.
The devices on the LAN can do this themselves pretty well or can ask my DNS server for assistance with resolving names.
Could you explain why this is done?

Very annoying that 3rd party sites are DNS queried and pinged from the main TP-Link in AP-mode. I blocked the following domains in pi-hole:
- linkedin.com
- reddit.com
- youtube.com
- facebook.com
- bing.com
- a-rootservers.net
Dear DECO developers, please remove this bad practice feature from your code!
