Question connection drops and i suspect my isp is playing with my dns

[Mina Saleh]

I seem to be suffering from random connection drops
and when I look at the router log it seems that the isp is forcing it's own dns address I think??!!
-this is the log a few seconds after the connection dropped

even though Google's dns (8.8.8.8) is what I configured in my router , every dns test returns my isp's dns shown above and not google's
soooooooooooo any ideas?!

That is just a message saying your ISP is giving your router a DNS to use. It depends where you put the 8.8.8.8 entry but both cause these values to be overridden is slightly different ways.

Those are just part of the standard set of things that are done when a connection comes up.

Why the connection is going down in the first place is the actual problem. It most likely is related to some kind of error on the connection.

ISP doesn't "play" with your DNS, all they do is "recommend" you use THEIRS DNS server but you certainly don't have to and can use ANY DNS server you wish, via proper configuration.
