Open DNS not Working on Airport Extreme

Hello I have followed the instructions for setting up my Airport extreme router, but when I go to test the settings here at open DNS, I am told I am not using open DNS, and filtering is definitely not happening

I have confirmed my router is not in bridge mode, Have used terminal to flush browser and DNS caches.

I have confirmed in airport utility that the correct DNS settings are present. I have tried doing a hard reset of the airport extreme and setting up the network again as well

I am using an Arris TM722 modem from Comcast.

OS X 10.10

What further information can I provide to assist someone in providing some suggestions?

Thanks!

The diagnostics are available for you and OpenDNS staff only.  You would have to raise a ticket to draw attention to it.  Did you?

You may perform the test at https://dnsleaktest.com/ and/or post the complete plain text output of the following diagnostic commands:

   nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220

   nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.

I can confirm your router is configured correctly however your network's current IP address does not match the one you have registered in the dashboard.

An IP address mismatch like this will cause issues with your stats and filtering. As such, we recommend that you take a look at https://support.opendns.com/entries/24889200-Dynamic-IP-Addresses-Technical-Detail-and-FAQ for more information on maintaining a dynamic IP address for your network.

After you have made the necessary changes to your network's IP address, we recommend that you flush your DNS resolver cache and web browser cache on each device to ensure that your new DNS configuration settings take effect immediately. Instructions to clear your DNS resolver cache can be found here: <http://www.opendns.com/support/article/68>, and instructions to clear your web browser cache can be found here: <http://www.opendns.com/support/article/67>.
