nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf set to my router
My internet was not working. It complained about a "temporary failure in name resolution" when I pinged any websites. Then I noticed that my nameserver was set to my router in /etc/resolv.conf... I changed it to a legitimate name server and everything worked. Why is my machine changing my name server anyways? Is it possible to have your router as a name server?

Not only possible, but completely normal.
