My Gargoyle 1.9.0 (TPlink wdr3600) is working behind a pfSense router as a wireless AP. Almost every 10 seconds, pfSense is blocking the traffic coming from Gargoyle (192.168.1.2) as below:

Source----------------Destination--------------Protocol
10.61.0.1:67 --------255.255.255.255:68 --------UDP

My network is on 192.168.1.x and I don't have any device on 10.61.x.x.

What does this traffic mean? Why Gargoyle is relentlessly sending this?

That's a DHCP request. Or rather a response to one.
Is the DHCP server on gargoyle disabled?

Yes sir, Gargoyle DHCP server is disabled. All wireless clients are directed to the main router's gateway address 192.168.1.1 for DNS and DHCP service. Gargoyle's IP is 192.168.1.2. It is puzzling me to see that IP.

Not sure then mate. It's probably safe to ignore though.
