You need to ask your ISP for their DNS address.

Just use the DNS address from your ISP. Sometimes, it needs to be entered in
manually.

You should try the ps3 forums, but i did the old ipconfig /all in the
command prompt and it provided me with all the ip and dns servers that the
ps3 and router required

your DNS server is NOT the same as your Gateway, usually.

I don't know what your DNS server is, it's different for each ISP, but if
you want too, you can setup an OpenDNS account and use OpenDNS (which is
better than most DNSs because you can censor certain sites, and you aren't
prone to ISPs who want to censor stuff they think you shouldn't see. It's
actually really nice)

Once you open an account your DNS servers will be:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

I think you HAVE to open an account to use it. I installed OpenDNS at my
office because we can easily filter out porn sites, and other stuff that's
not appropriate for work. It's really easy, and free, and really powerfull,
and free.
