DNS stands for Directory Name Server and has nothing to do with your
router. OPEN is just the name of a server, and there are lots of DNS
units throughout the world.
The primary ip address for OPEN is 208.67.222.222 and the secondary ip

I am not sure I am following you here on the on the RFC 1918 address

We use a router provided by our service provider which used to be Qwest but is
now Century Communications.
The modem that talks to the telephone pair with radio frequency above the voice

and find the router DNS settings and use the public Google
