Which device to manage?
I have had problems with open dns operating correctly using a net gear router. My understanding that a router should have only 1 mac address. Mine apparently has 3. Which one should I manage? Again trying to figure out why my net gear router is not working correctly

so because of this problem I am attempting to connect to open dns using only my macbook. by placing the dns servers in the network preferences. Is there something I am missing. The open DNS updater is till not showing that I am connecting to my network. I have flushed the cache

"I only have one net gear router. How could I be connecting to 3 devices."
No idea, the MAC address may have changed over time with firmware upgrades or so. Whatever, use now the device settings on the dashbard which has your router's current MAC address.
If you are concerned about outdated information at your dashboard, open a support ticket to get your device IDs deleted, then register from anew while running the Management Utility or Apple Genie.
"I am attempting to connect to open dns using only my macbook. by placing the dns servers in the network preferences."
This is a bad idea. You try to use normal OpenDNS Home Basic. This cannot work properly. LPC is part of your router. (Btw, 208.67.200.200 is not an OpenDNS resolver address anyway.)
"The open DNS updater is till not showing that I am connecting to my network."
Either bad. You are not to run an Updater at all if you use a Netgear router with LPC. Uninstall it. LPC works with your device ID, not with your IP address.

You do not have LPC enabled in the router, but you're using OpenDNS Home Basic.
Open a support ticket to get you sorted. https://support.opendns.com/requests/new

This command was wrong. The domain debug.opendns.com has only a TXT record assigned. Therefore the correct command would be:
dig debug.opendns.com txt
";; SERVER: 127.0.0.54#53(127.0.0.54)"
Weird. Just by chance, do you use DNSCrypt or another DNS proxy? You shouldn't use this with an LPC enabled Netgear router.

These are the logs taken from the router. This may well be normal, I don't know. I have attached a picture of the bottom of my net gear router. This is the only router that I have ever used with LPC controls. When I click on devices in the LPC I still have 2 devices. Don't think they are the one that I own. I got rid of one of the 3 when I reset the router back to defaults. How do I get rid of the other 2? and put the correct one in my account.
the logs were taken from the router when I was resetting it. Please advise me on how to proceed

I have lpc manager installed and it says that I am now using lpc with open dns. That is good. The thing that really bothers me and needs to be fixed are the devices in my lpc opendns account. My device is not listed in the account. I have had problems in that there are wifi networks that come out of nowhere and seem to run on top of my two wireless routers on the same channel. After a reset of the router they seem to go away and I am able to change channels of my wireless routers. These unknown wifi networks come and go. I live in an isolated rural area and they do not belong to any of my neighbors.
First order of business is for open dns to get my account set up with the correct mac address

I have been reading a ton of these blogs/TS helps and seems like there isn't a fix or an exact culprit. I am having this same issue. The issue began simultaneously with my Netgear router all of sudden stopped working. After speaking with Netgear Tech Support, the issue was with my Verizon wireless router and the Netgear R7800 router using the same IP Address. After some changes my internet came back but OpenDNS still doesnt work. I am willing to bet it has something to do with changing the MAC address and OPEN DNS not being able to find my network. What can I do to fix this issue?
The reason I have the verizon router is because of the following;
1. I do not pay a monthly fee.
2. A back up in case something happens with my Netgear router, as this has already happened.
Right now I force all wireless connections through the R7800 router because it is a way better product and the Open DNS gives me better parental control.

Can you login at https://netgear.opendns.com/ ?
"something to do with changing the MAC address and OPEN DNS not being able to find my network"
Follow these instructions:
https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/articles/227987567And then open a support ticket again.

Yes I can log in to https://netgear.opendns.com/ . Furthermore, there are now two devices which are the same routers but two different MAC Addresses.
I am also having this same issue, https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/articles/227987567-I-received-the-error-This-device-is-registered-to-another-user- .
Originally everything was fine prior to changing the MAC address on my Netgear router. I attempted to sign in after changing the MAC address with the prior login and i got the prompt that "This device is registered to another user". I tried creating a new account to no avail.
-
I created a new account because my original account did not allow me to log in to OpenDNS with netgear genie. I received the prompt that this device is registered to another user. This was after hanging my MAC address on the netgear genie. I created a new account because with my new MAC address I thought the process would be swift and just be done with it. Of course this did not work.
