Another difference between our configurations is maybe that I've disabled "Conditional Forwarding" in PiHole's DNS Settings ; I don't rely on the router's DHCP / client hostname cache for local LAN name resolution as I've added those manually to the /etc/hosts file (it was because of an issue I had with my NAS's hostname being registered to the wrong interface as it has 2 Eth interfaces / 2 IP's).
In your case I believe it's still active as in the client list <dlinkrouter> is listed because  PiHole can interogate the router for it's hostname ; in my case it's just IPs.
Hope you find the source as I understand it's an annoying issue that's skewing the graphs due the sheer number of such requests which make them less useful .

Hello!
I hope someone can help me. I just recently bought a DIR 882 from amazon. supposed to be brand new. however when i start it up i notice two things. first the 2.4 ad 5 GHZ lights are not lit up. ive performed many resets and nothing. secondly i cant find the default wireless network its supposed to emit when you start up. it connects fine to the pc via LAN I have access to the settings. I have even tried to upgrade to the lastest firmware, and even that fails. PLease help me! I do not want my money to have been wasted on a dead router. Thank you!

1st.  Doesn't Amazon (or the seller on Amazon's marketplace) have a return policy ; your money shouldn't be lost in the case that indeed this is a defective unit that needs to be RMA'd .
2nd. What firmware version are you on now ? Visit < https://dlinkrouter.local/version.txt > (after you've logged on beforehand) .
I've had issues before when trying to upgrade the firmware while the router was configured ; I was only able to do it after doing a factory reset and doing the upgrade with the router with out of box experience (nothing configured)
3rd . If all fails you can try to do a http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=44909.msg163599#msg163599  ; download the firmware from the support page of the router and upload it to the router via the boot-loader webpage .
Best of luck .

Link>Welcome!

Return the router to Amazon and inform them that this unit should be returned to D-Link.

Ask for another unit or get another unit from Amazon.

If both 2.4 and 5ghz LEDs are off, press the Wi-Fi button on the back of the router. If the lights never come on, the wireless is dead on the unit. Return to point of purchase. If it is too late, contact tech support for an RMA.

Hi all, this is going to be a newb question but... I updated to v1.20 in July through the GUI but I didn't reset my router.  So far everything has been working smoothly but posts I read on the forum say you should reset your router after a firmware update.    Do I really need to if everything seems fine?

[FurryNutz]

Only if you seem to notice problems.

Hello, i'm facing a bug after the latest update, my router doesn't show the options to choose between 2.4ghz or 5ghz anymore and all my devices keeps disconnecting and reconnecting on it's own, in some parts of the house I get strong signal but without internet, i'm guessing that i'm connected on 5ghz and i'm not getting internet because i'm far from the router. I don't have any option to switch to 2.4ghz. any help?

Disable Smart Connect. It will open up the 2.4GHz and 5GHz settings.

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch performed on the router after the FW update was applied?

Thank you for your response. I did a factory reset and setup from scratch and everything working well without problem until now. Thanks again.
