Hi jjdonahue,
1. Are the sites still coming through?
2. Make sure that the DNS settings of the router are set to the OpenDNS. If not, you can have it manually set to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 respectively.

Thank for the reply
Yes - still no filtering is apparent on any of 5 devices I'm testing (iPhone 4 and HP Windows 10 laptop added to my test list)

Hi jjdonahue,
1. What is the model number of the NETGEAR device?
2. What is the firmware version?
