/etc/resolv.conf keeps changing

My /etc/resolv.conf keeps changing to 192.168.0.2 (wifi AP) while it should be either 192.168.0.1 (gateway) or the opendns servers I had put in there.

relevant /etc/rc.conf settings:

eth0="eth0 192.168.0.125 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(eth0)

# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

/etc/resolv.conf before changes:

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

after changes:

nameserver 192.168.0.2

I've disabled the dhcpcd service.

Re: /etc/resolv.conf keeps changing

Simply put your preferred nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf.head.  Whatever you write in there gets prepended to resolv.conf. The file has the same format as resolv.conf, namely:

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
