Netgear router not accepting correct primary and secondary DNS settings
I'm trying to setup OpenDNS.. When I put in the OpenDNS primary (202.67.222.222) and secondary (208.67.220.220) settings and click "Apply" the settings shown are different.
Primary: 195.67.222.222
Secondary: 195.67.220.220
Does anyone know how I can get the correct settings in?
Note: I do get on the Internet with the "195" settings.
I have tried to change this many times, but, it never shows the "208" first setting, always "195"

I did the 30-30-30 reset. Still the same problem. I'll purchase a new router, Netgear, of course.
Many many thanks for all the help.

Welcome to the community, allwowth
What's the exact model number of the NETGEAR device?
Did you enable OpenDNS feature or you're simply using the OpenDNS addresses?

What's the firmware installed on the router?
Do you have the latest firmware installed?
If not, update the firmware or re-upload it then factory reset the router.
