Open Dns not blocking pornography
I put the DNS settings on my router settings and saved them and Open DNS confirmed Open DNS was working on my computer and blocked out pornography but now Open DNS says its working on my computer but pornography is not blocked.

What settings did you put on your router and how did you do it? How did OpenDNS confirm that it's working on your computer? What do you mean that pornography is not blocked when you said that it was blocked?

You have posted in the "Netgear Live Parental Controls" section, but it looks like you're using OpenDNS Home.
Did you ensure that you blocked the related categories at your dashboard?
Is your IP address correctly registered at https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/ ?"I didn't change any settings."
Yes, exactly this is often the reason why things do not work. For example, your ISP may have changed your IP address, and you didn't change it at the dashboard, e.g. with an Updater or manually.
In case you also have LPC enabled: this does not work with OpenDNS Home. These services are incompatible.

Is your router behind a Comcast or other ISP Router/Modem? I had to set my Comcast Router in Bridge mode before my Netgear NightHawk R8500 LPC would work. I also found that my genie application wouldn't load my LPC settings information unless my PC was also connected to the WiFi (I have my PC on a wired connection by default).
