Suggest that you try re-configuring the section:

with
MANAGEMENT IP:
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Hostname:
domainname:
As far as the PC's on the LAN are concerned, they need to be told by
the router that the router is their gateway to the Internet. It is the
router which needs to be told the WAN gateway (the IP which is similar
to the DNS addresses) and this is normally done automatically by your
ISP when the router boots up,
Also, (not connected with the above), I notice that in your WAN
settings, you have the line:
> On Demand: (checked)
If you want the router to stay online 24/7 I think this line should be
unchecked. You will probably find that when you do this, the:
> Idle Timeout: 299sec (was 10, 299 is max)
> Keep Alive: 999999min (was 10, 999999 is max)
will grey out.
Give it a whirl
