It's either wrong MTU, or the ISP uses DNS hijacking.

You have the following options:

In addition, you can provide custom DNS with DHCP.

dnsmasq is configured and running

A ping request to 8.8.8.8 is fine but the one to google.com doesnot go through rather it sends to the local br.lan interface ... so its like
when I do a traceroute to 8.8.8.8 I could see the hops etc but when I do the same to google.com its going to the br.lan interface which is 192.168.1.1 and then stopping there itself ... can you please tell me what is happening here ?

And also please see this, do you see anything unusual

/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
udhcpc: started, v1.26.2
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: no lease, failing

Same for nslookup .... it goes to 192.168.1.1

This looks like an obsolete version.
Can you upgrade to the latest stable OpenWrt release?
