Opendns issue

I have had Opendns working well until few days ago when I was forced to reinstall my orbi network. Ì chose the same name for my home Wi-Fi network as the initial setup. Wi-Fi is working well except the Opendns part which is not blocking anything at all. I have it setup at a moderate level ( same as the original set up) but unlike before it is no longer blocking any adult websites.
Any possible solutions?

Thanks in advance.

    So I assume you re-entered the DNS servers for opendns into the settings section instead of the automatic ones?  If so, it should be working.

      I probably did not do that. Where is the the setting section? Is it in the Netgear genie app? The one on the phone or PC?
      When I initially started using orbi I don't recall any such step. Rather I simply created an Opendns account within the parental control section of the netgear genie app.
