Your instructions had wrong IP address for Motorola and nothing matched your instructions once I was in.

  Sure, it may be that Motorola have changed the user interface.  Would you have a link to an online manual?

  I have the SBG6580 and saw no way to change.  There is a DDNS Setting but only one provider listed DYNDNS.ORG
  So I changed in the computer.   I did a speed test using googles 8.8.8.8  and 8.8.4.4 and saw a significant increase in speed.  will try opendns and

  Flushed DNS cache and tested..  I had the worse speed and ping from Houston to Florida... I went from 10mbps to near 40mbps and ping was down from 116 to 45.  Thank you OpenDNS.

  This doesn't seem to be a device where one can enter static DNS resolver addresses, as sgarfield said above already.  :(

  I was able to find a work around to this issue. Not sure if it is the right way to do it (since I am in the medical field and not IT) but it works for my home network.  Hope this helps.

  1. Control Panel

  2. Network/Internet

  3. Manage Wireless Networks

  4. Select your network from the list and select adapter properties along top bar

  5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and select properties

  6. Select - Use following DNS server addresses:

  Sure, if one cannot configure OpenDNS on the router, one can configure it on the computer.  This is well known and documented:
