Solution
How is your default gateway not proper? That is an IP that falls within the Class C private range (ie and IP address that is ignored outside of a LAN). It looks like you have both your ethernet and wi-fi adapter connected to the same router at the same time. The IP addresses assigned to them are in the same IP range as the default gateway, so I'm not sure what issue you're having with your default gateway.

Is it because it's not 192.168.xxx.xxx? This is just another Class C private range of IP's, the 10.XXX.XXX.XXX are the same, as well as 172.16.XXX.XXX.

As he said above, 192.x.x.x and 10.x.x.x. are valid IPV4 private network addresses.

The big xxxx:xx:xxxx:xx:xx..... network addresses are for IPV6 and you can safely ignore them.

All you have to remember is that your PC's should have their DNS and Gateway entries pointing to your routers IP, which should be 10.0.0.1, which should be correct if IP's assigned by routers DHCP.
 
That is because your router is using IPv6 for internal IP addressing as well as IPv4. You can disable IPv6 if you log into your routers Web interface settings by typing your default gateways IPv4 IP address to your internet browser. Depending on your router is what the log in information will be. Search the default login info for your router.
