Windows – Name resolution DNS Client Event, DNS servers not responding, with internet disconnects

I have a really small network in my house, with only three computers. Recently I've experienced my computer disconnecting from the internet for 3-5 seconds, and it only happens two or three times a day. I get this Warning message in the event logs:

Event ID 1014, Warning
Name resolution for the name dns.msftncsi.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

The website dns.msftncsi.com isn't a constant, it's been a few random sites (i'm guessing whatever site i'm on at the time of disconnect.)

My network consists of a windows 7 Desktop, Linux mint laptop, and a macbook pro. My router is a Netgear N600, and here's my output of ipconfig /all

ipconfig /all

I've been troubleshooting this for a while, and really am out of ideas. I have only noticed the problem on my windows 7 desktop, but that could be because my laptops are normally only on at work or school. Let me know what other information might be needed.
