Possible Network Router Preventing Updates

I'm on a fresh install of Proxmox on baremetal. Able to log on and do some things and was tinkering in shell. Early on I noticed that I was getting things like "Temporary failure resolving 'ftp.us.debian.org' or 'Failed to fetch http: ....etc" when typing in apt-get update. Trying to ping google.com comes up with "temporary failure in name resolution"

cat /etc/resolve.conf
"nameserver 127.0.0.1"
When I ping the nameserver it works.

Resolvectl
" Failed to get global data: Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.resolve1.service not found."

I've searched a lot of forums and websites to fix this issue and even adding my own repository URL's to no avail. I believe this could be related to my Mikrotik router blocking something? IF not, I'm out of options. What would be the proper way to allow proxmox access through the router?

Thanks in advanced!

EDIT:
I've also been on Mikrotik Forums if this is a DNS issue. But before install Proxmox on baremetal, Ubuntu-Server was able to run updates just fine.

you probably should specify some local DNS resolver if you have one (or a public one / one provided by your ISP otherwise). 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address pointing to the PVE host itself..
 
@fabian I'm using a Mikrotik router and don't see anything about DNS resolver in there. Still looking for solutions. The router itself is pulling dynamic IP from the modem. When I ran Ubuntu Server on bare metal I didn't have this issue, so I believe it's a proxmox thing?
