Not exactly, there are various tests you can perform to see if a problem might be a dns issue, such as pinging the dns server or submitting a query

nope, and this is the joke with the shub. Being able to assign your own dns servers is one of the most basic features of a router yet VM chose to remove it. This is one of the many reasons why you should buy your own proper router. I understand VM's reasoning for it, it just eliminates one more potential problem when diagnosing connection problems (you only have to worry about your own dns servers being at fault and you are in a position to know whether there is a current fault) but it also creates a single point of failure which has been demonstrated quite nicely over the last 3 weeks.
