Is my router calling home

Sat May 31, 2014 8:12 am

Forgive me if I have this wrong as I do not have loads of networking experience, I do plan on taking a course to get the basics then I can teach myself the rest with help from fine folks like yourselves and of course Google, on to my question.

For another 2 weeks I am still with Rogers and we have their lovely all in one router, which I have it bridged and I am using the TP-Link Archer C-7, version 2.

About a month or so ago I finally got around to trying different dns servers and tried Google first and then decided to use OpenDns, so I created an account and all that jazz.

Before I drag on too long about something I don't understand this is a screen shot of my OpenDns account and under Domains you can see a rather large number of requests "directed" to http://www.tp-link.com 2692.

Is this normal and only a result of me having the Archer bridged or is there something more sinister going on, not paranoid but after reading awhile back about routers calling home I am more than a little bit curious.

Three possibilities:
  • It is checking for firmware updates.
  • It is contacting an NTP (time) server maintained by the router vendor to synchronize its clock.
  • It is "phoning home" for some other reason.
Have you tried looking through the router settings to see if there's anything related to automatic firmware updates or time synchronization?
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

I believe TP-Link also has their own dynamic DNS service which could be another cause.

Would this at all conflict with using OpenDns and JBI I am pretty sure but I'll check right now.

It shouldn't conflict with opendns. All it would be doing is sending out IP address updates to their dynamic DNS server.

I had a look, definitely there is no auto check for new firmware and so far as the time settings go, there are some but from what I read it looks like it is also not set to auto because the 2 server spots are empty in this picture.

Sorry, I just noticed that it says it will Get GMT automatically if configured correctly, what exactly does that mean and could that be the issue.

I notice that at the bottom they say "pre-defined servers". They may hardcode a couple of NTP servers in the code so if it is blank it uses those. One way to figure out is to define a ntp server and see if the requests to TP-Link stops.

Which addresses could I put in there, would the ones within the windows time feature work or do you know one I could use, or perhaps I should just Google,lol.


OMG, sorry Dean just saw your link, must wake up.

Alrighty, I have added those addresses to my router and will see what the logs say at OpenDns a bit later.

I am far from a privacy freak but when I saw the connection attempts to TP-Link it kind of threw me for a loop and made me wonder a bit, nothing wrong with being curious, it is how I learn,lol.

That whole section is ambiguous. It is unclear whether only "Get GMT" uses hard-coded defaults, or whether the hard-coded defaults are always used if the IP addresses are not filled in.

Not sure if the Windows time servers will work for this.

You can go ahead and use my NTP server if you want to test. Its public IP is 64.81.142.110.

Thank you, I will add this one and I have a hypothetical question, if indeed the TP-Link router was calling home, would they not be able to hide this fact from something like OpenDns and its logs, I do run the updater from openDns as well.

The easiest way to see what this thing is doing would be to sniff the packets with an intermediate box.

Some packets really need to be captured to see what this thing is doing.

I'm not following.

Windows Server can be setup to be an NTP server. It takes a trip into group policy objects, but it can be done.

What I meant is, I am not sure if the public time servers that desktop Windows uses by default will work for the router. I *think* they are standard NTP and should work, but it has been a while and I seem to recall having a weird issue with non-Windows clients at some point back in the day.

IIRC, Colubris WLAN controllers would phone home, to make sure they had a valid license.

I really doubt that's the case here, but I'd like see a packet capture. At least then we'd have clearer idea of what type of packets are being sent to TP-Link.

Would it be too much for one of you to show me how I would go about that, must be a program of some sort and if I could post them for you guys to look at, for the moment I logged onto the OpenDns account and blocked the connection to TP-Link, I would imagine I would have to change that back to allow for the capture of the packets assuming it even can block them.

Packet sniffing would be the most truthful way to determine what is happening but a quick and easy way (if they respond) to discover the purpose would be to e-mail TP-Link.

Disclaimer: I have that same router.

Bonus Edit: TP-Link has an emulator here if you want to give this router a whirl.

Bonus Edit: Their forums aren't half bad either.

Well kudos to TP-Link for not suppressing those log entries. It must be a bug.

I agree about packet sniffing. You don't want your device to upload things like traffic history, session information, passwords (I'm looking at you Motorola), and a packet sniffer is a good way to see that. The difficulty is that the device has a modem built-in, so you're not really going to see what's coming out of the RJ11 jack of the box without a second upstream modem. I doubt your ISP will allow such things, naturally. IBM makes some passive devices, but if you have to ask, you can't afford them.

Edit: Hah, I assume wrongly, your box is just a router with a gigabit WAN port. Rock on! Throw together a FreeBSD or pfSense box and tcpdump all the way!
Calm seas never made a skilled mariner. But, sadly I'm an A's fan.

I noticed this problem myself on a TP-Link 841N ... and I have a packet dump from when the router had NO clients attached (WAN OR LAN) connections.

It is doing root DNS queries every 60 seconds and trying to lookup tp-link.com every 2 seconds. I have rechecked the config several times and no auto-updates or "DDNS" services are enabled. I'm running the latest firmware for this router.

Also note, even though I have my own local *172.16.x.x* NTP servers defined in the config, it is using hard coded ones on the internet.

My firewall internal DNS server is 10.0.20.1 with the dedicated WAP internal interface of 172.16.0.1. WAP IP is 172.16.0.254.

Did you ever figure out how to make it stop? I also have OpenDNS setup and I see the high level of queries for tp-link.com

It is doing root DNS queries every 60 seconds and trying to lookup tp-link.com every 2 seconds. I have rechecked the config several times and no auto-updates or "DDNS" services are enabled.

WTF. Get enough devices doing this and you have what amounts to a DDOS attack on the root servers. :roll: Clueless firmware engineers.

IIRC there was a similar incident a few years back when a router vendor took out one of the big public NTP servers by hard coding its IP address as the default time server for a popular model of router.
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
