192.168.1.1 is the default LAN IP, and gateway address (will be used
by computers to access the internet). This is very different from
DNS. Are you saying the router contains a DNS proxy as well? The
manual for my router says nothing about that. Could you give the model
number of one that does have that feature? It would be a useful one to
have.
Or is it you've confused "gateway" and "DNS"?
