 DNS hops jumping to 4231528

I'm having a problem with major lag on my encrypted wireless router. I just got this program called netinfo that gives much more detailed information about my connection. Its showing that the number of hops to my dns server is 4231528!!!
I have 5 dns servers in the list. The first one from opendns seemed to be affected by this outrageous number of hops. So I removed it from the list and used netinfo again. Netinfo then showed other dns servers having the same problem but previously had not been affected. Is this some kind of DOS against my router? I removed the entire list of dns servers and am now using Treewalk DNS. My connection seems fine now but I would really like an answer for the above problem.
Correction the lag is still continuing.

Maybe I'm not reading your post correctly, but I need to clarify - do you think this is an issue with your Wi-Fi connection or with your general connection to the Internet?

If the former, did you verify that your AP isn't running on a channel that conflicts with other APs? Maybe other APs in your area are running on adjacent channels that's causing some overlap? Are there other radio signals that might be causing the same issue (cordless phones, microwaves, etc.)?

If the latter, what does a traceroute indicate?
