Linksys EA6400 DNS IP's won't update

I have set the 3 Static DNS IPs as specified.  When I hop over to Troubleshooting --> Status --> Report, under iPV 4, the DNS1 and DNS2 settings are not updated.  Nor is the DNS 3 but it is blank.  I followed the instructions to rollback my firmware and this still didn't work.  It may be worth noting that under the same tab, the DHCP settings do show OpenDNS IP's.

All that said the OpenDNS dashboard says I am online, but no requests are being logged and I can still access sites on the blocked list.

Any thoughts?  Thank you very much.

  This is unfortunately a known issue with Linksys Smart WiFi routers which prevents your configured DHCP DNS settings from applying despite doing it correctly - and it is a flaw in the router software that would need to be resolved by Linksys. As a result, OpenDNS would not be fully supported on this device due to it's flaw and you'd need a working router or to manually configure OpenDNS (https://support.opendns.com/forums/21618384) as long as you're using this router with the Linksys bug. 

  For a faster resolution, since the bug is on the Linksys firmware, Linksys support would be the best folks to contact as we have no choice but to declare their newer routers unsupported.

  I found a workaround, which I posted at https://support.opendns.com/entries/22897000-Is-the-Linksys-EA6500-router-supported-by-OpenDNS-?page=1#post_48956868
