Ok, Larry, I have to ask... does your $50 appliance really have a DNS server in it too?

No. But it will happen someday. ;-) But your question reminds me that I forgot to mention that the router should be set up to point to your ISP's DNS. But as I recall, I didn't have complete success with name resolution of local machines until I switched to using static DHCP IPs and adding the names and IPs to my /etc/host files. It's really the best way to go if one's router supports it.

That's what I thought. I find it unlikely that your ISP allows you to register with their DNS. :-)

They've had no complaints in the last 8 years that I've been using them. But as I believe I've mentioned before, I think this line of inquiry is getting pretty off the OP's topic so I believe it's best to drop it.
