How do I set up OpenDNS with Google WiFi? I used the Google WiFi app to set custom DNS, as shown in the attached screen shot, but it is not working. I restarted the WiFi network, and my computer.

This is the DNS service you're using. Does it look like OpenDNS? Definitely no! It's the DNSv6 service of Comcast.
"I am not an OpenDNS resolver."
Visit your TCP/IPv6 settings, and configure ::ffff:d043:dedc and ::ffff:d043:dcde (for OpenDNS Home) or ::ffff:d043:de7b and ::ffff:d043:dc7b (for FamilyShield) as DNSv6 server addresses, and you should be good to go...

Thanks for your quick response. When I look at DNS settings on my iPhone or my Mac, I see the following DNS servers: 192.168.86.1, 2601:646:8a82:3ada::
If I delete the 2601:646:8a82:3ada:: or replace it with ::ffff:d043:dedc then it works.

You need the OpenDNS app installed on your windows computer so they can track your dynamic ip.
