DNS Server Not Responding Problem

Forum Wireless Networking : Setup, Configuration & Security DNS Server Not Responding Problem

Word :    Username :           
 

Hi there, I've recently been having a problem with my wireless connection. Just last night I lost connection and the Win 7 troubleshooter said that "The DNS server is not responding." I took to the internet to try and find a solution, but I've come up blank.

Setup:
Belkin F5D8236-4 Router
Arris TM602G/CT Modem


I've tried flushing and registering the DNS through command, but to no avail. I also tried to manually change my perferred DNS to both 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (as per Windows support forum), but that didn't work either.

On my router, the Modem light is flashing orange at the moment which I would imagine means it can't connect to it, but I can't figure out why for the life of me. I've power cycled it 3x now, both 30 sec and 5 min cycles and nothing helps.

I took my ipconfig /all as well so you can have a look --
