Subnet mask 255.0.0.0 same on all 3
Default gateway 10.1.1.1
DNS 58.28.6.4 because that is my ISPs DNS server.

That would be wrong for many routers, including mine.

Please note the Default Gateway and DNS Server addresses. They look the same to me, and this is a perfectly working network.
FYI, the router forwards the DNS requests to the ISP for most SOHO routers, though some pass the DNS addresses directly through.
