How to apply OpenDNS parental control to Linksys WRT1900ACS?

[12ry34]

Hi,

I have filled in all three DNS addresses i.e. 208.67.220.220, 208.67.222.222, and 208.67.222.220, in Local Network Connectivity (in Linksys WRT1900ACS).

Now, how to apply OpenDNS live parental controls to this router, (which I have created for my old Netgear router)?

Thanks
Ravi

LPC (Live Parental Controls) are a feature built into the router's firmware. I think the only routers currently on the market that support this are some models made by Netgear. It is not something that you can add to any router of your choice.

OpenDNS does not run on your router, but is a configurable service in the cloud.  You visit the OpenDNS dashboard at https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/ to configure your settings.

Btw, many Netgear routers support something like "Live Parental Controls (powered by OpenDNS)", but this is a different service from OpenDNS Home and is not available on Linksys routers.  OpenDNS Home also provides parental controls if you configure at the dashboard accordingly.
