Also what does this mean and what will It do exactly?
" There are loads of fantastic features which will put the shub to shame but a biggy, and one of the first things you should do, is manually input new dns server entries which will override anything vm sends down by dhcp. I have used 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for years and never had a single problem."

The General is referring to the DNS* server settings. If you do nothing then the router will use the VM DNS by default. However they are not the most reliable and also filter some sites and refuse to release the IP for them, directing you to an internal page in VM's network.
The settings 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are Googles DNS servers. There are several others that can be used but the Google ones are pretty solid.
*DNS = Domain Name Server. A server that holds a table of IP addresses referenced from website names.
