I am confused by that output. I don't know the answers to your questions.
Never the less, my suggestion is to
# mv -v /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.bak
If that fails because /etc/resolv.conf doesn't exist in the first place,
then ignore the failure, and
# echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8\nnameserver 8.8.4.4" > /etc/resolv.conf
as root. Then
$ ping -c1 search.cpan.org
And see what IP it pings to.
Once again: even though I don't know the answers to your questions, my
suggestion is to issue these commands after the router is connected in
the usual way. Just try it, and see if that helps. I assume it should not
interfer with your internet connection. It is supposed to improve your
name resolution by bypassing the router process of name resolution.
Hopefully it will override only the router name resolution, and nothing
else. Just try it. Hopefully, it will work.
