If you mean that you want to use a different Domain Name Server (DNS) that's nothing to do with OpenDNS.

michaelkenward   - Thanks for the reply.  I do not want to use the router's "Get Automatically from ISP" setting to specify which DNS server to use.  Instead, I want to use 208.67.222.222 as the primary DNS server and 208.67.220.220 as the secondary DNS server, both of which I have read are provided by OpenDNS and both of which are also at the bottom of the OpenDNS web home page Cloud Delivered Enterprise Security by OpenDNS

 

I just want to make sure, before installing the available Netgear router update, that I will still be able to use the above DNS servers even though one of the router update release notes is "Removed OpenDNS support."
