Glad you got it working.

You could do this:

This would populate thru all devices and no need to set DNS in any devices accept for main host router is all.

Well, I already had "DNS Relay" disabled on my main router, because i hated how D-link kept sending me to my ISP or yahoo when i typed things in wrong, and it created lag at times.  

I have already ran the Name bench and was considering changing mt primary to the fastest and the secondary to 8.8.4.4 because i know google is amazing (in terms of consistancy & uptime).

so setting the DNS server on an access point wont change anything?  I should just make it 192.168.0.1 on all of my access points?

You can use any DNS on the main host router, DNS Relay ON or OFF. If you don't input any DNS in to the main host router, and DNS relay is ON, the router will automatically use detected DNS from ISP. If you input DNS into the router with DNS relay ON, the router will use what you input however the host will be 192.168.0.1 for DNS on all clients. If you turn OFF DNS relay with custom DNS, the clients will see what ever custom DNS you inputed on the router.

No need to put any DNS on the APs as they will automatically pass DNS from the router to the clients. No need for additional process of this.
