OpenDNS not working with Orbi
Hi Everyone,
For the past week whenever I add the OpenDNS IPs as my DNS servers the Magenta ring glows on my router and only a few websites browse on my devices.
Previously it worked fine. However if I change it to Google DNS servers or my ISP's DNS servers it works fine.
Anyone knows what could be the reason ?
Thanks in advance,
Nisheel

Hi DarrenM,
Unfortunately I am not trying to configure parental controls in a combination with OpenDNS. So your suggested link is not relvelant to my issue as my parental controls are disabled.
I am just having an issue where if I use OpenDNS IPs in my internet settings the orbi router gets the Magenta ring and i am unable to browse from my connected devices. Switching to GoogleDNS and it works fine.
