In order to use the built-in DDNS update client of a device like a router for OpenDNS, it must support at least one of OpenDNS, DNS-O-Matic or "custom / user defined" from the Service Provider drop-down list. Does it?

If not, you cannot use this update client for OpenDNS.

If it is supported, the update URLs are:
```
https://updates.opendns.com/nic/update?hostname=NetworkLabel
  - or -
http(s)://updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update
```

I managed to configure this router, the configuration that worked for me was this:

Domain Name: opendns.com

Service Provider: dyndns-custom

Host of the Service Provider: updates.opendns.com

Service Port: 80

User Name: <your OpenDNS username>

Password: <your OpenDNS password>

Encryption Mode: BASE64
