After doing this, my /etc/resolv.conf contains only 127.0.0.1.

I did try updating it by running the following command lines:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf

And

$ sudo resolvconf -u

And nothing were able to pull the nameservers from my router now. :/

I had to manually edit it in order to get back access to internet.

Why is that? What updates resolv.conf from my router's config?
