Lots of queries from my router

Hello, I recently got the Wavlink AX3000 mesh router to replace my service provided router so that I can set my own preferred DNS server (running Pihole on my Rasberry Pi). Since hooking up this router I've been seeing anywhere from 6-12 DNS queries per minute to [bing.com](https://bing.com) of A and AAAA type. I dont use bing and the IP indicates that the requests are coming from the router itself. I even setup the Pi as my DHCP server to be sure, and all the bing requests still come from the router's IP. I have no IoT devices. Has anyone else ever seen this? Could this be a result of using a mesh router as a normal router? I also blacklisted any request with bing in the domain and have seen no drop in performance. Its only been 24 hrs and there's been over 7000 bing queries blocked.
