Can't change DNS on Huawei HG8245H
Hello all,
I'd like to force any device connecting to my router to use the OpenDNS servers. However in the DHCP settings for my device (the Huawei HG8245H) the fields for Primary DNS Server and Secondary DNS Server are disabled (greyed out) and I'm unable to enter anything in them. Attached screenshot shows my problem. Does anyone know what I need to do to enable these fields?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you're unable to configure your router to use us, then we suggest you configure your computer instead (see https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/sections/206253647). You will get the same benefits, and if you have a small number of computers on your network, it's relatively easy.
Best regards,

Is this "same prob" this?
"in the DHCP settings for my device (the Huawei HG8245H) the fields for Primary DNS Server and Secondary DNS Server are disabled (greyed out)"Well, as you can see, no answer since April 24. Happy waiting!
Or would it be better to maybe refer to Huawei Support? I do not recall OpenDNS reselling Huawei routers... What do you think? Who has more expertise with Huawei routers, Huawei or OpenDNS?
