Is your IP address registered on your OpenDNS dashboard? What happens when you configure the OpenDNS servers on one of your computers?

Did you configure all three DNS fields?

(Additional OpenDNS resolver addresses are 208.67.222.220 and 208.67.220.222.)

See the following article and confirm that the information on the last step past testing settings at https://support.opendns.com/entries/48701244-Configuration-for-Linksys-Cisco-EA6900-EA6500-AC1750. If your router does not display the OpenDNS IPs where indicated, then your router is experiencing a Linksys firmware bug that would need to be resolved by Linksys. Older Linksys models are known to work; however, recent firmware on more recent models contain this issue in its DNS settings that prevent them from applying. Unfortunately until this is resolved, your router will not be able to use OpenDNS with a DHCP IP address from your ISP. Linksys is aware of this issue; however, have claimed it is working as designed.
