DNS problems with router

A couple suggestions I have for you:

Update the firmware on the router. Maybe it's getting into a badstate, and a firmware update might fix it. Or if you're comfortable with it, install a custom firmware like dd-wrt. Just make sure its supported on your router first.

Change your DNS to: 8.8.8.8, 4.2.2.1. Might help.

If none of these work, maybe statically set your DNS on your PS3/PC to the IPs you listed, taking the router out of the lookup procedure.

Last option, is look for a new router.

Computer routers face hijack risk:

Getting access to router acting as router or router acting as a gateway is the same (there might be exceptions, ofc).

But i think i got what you want to say - that your PC's have static DNS server adresses. In that case hijacking router's DNS settings wouldn't wield any results.
