If you use Motorola MG7540 (that I bought in Jan 2018), you need to do this:

1. set DNS servers using this setting

2. go to Advanced view > Basic Router > DHCPv6

and Disable the DHCPv6 Server and the Stateless DHCPv6

 

3. restart your PC and the Windows ipconfig /all will show you only OpenDNS servers

 

 

If you'll NOT do #2 from the above, ipconfig /all will show you IPv6 'feed' servers as below and OpenDNS will not work

DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . :

2001:558:feed::1
2001:558:feed::2
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

 

BIG thanks to Eddie L from the Motorola support for responding to my question (case: 27035) and giving me instructions for #2.

  Instead of disabling IPv6 and giving up connecting to the IPv6 internet, you could try to configure addresses like ::ffff:d043:dedc and ::ffff:d043:dcde as DNSv6 server addresses.

  Thanks! For my Motorola MG7540 purchased in November 2020:

  1. With Xfinity it always reverts to dual mode, leave it alone.

  2. Log in to the router and go to BASIC ROUTER > DHCPv6 and disable everything.

  This will pass everything thru OpenDNS on Ethernet and WiFi connections, if you changed the DNS settings under STATUS > CONNECTION.
