TP-Link CR1200
Hey everyone,
I use an ethernet cable to connect my TP-Link Router to my xfinity-supplied wireless router. This router is set up as a wireless router, but only a handful devices are connected through it. I instead set up the TP-Link Archer CR1200 router for general use. I give the SSID and pw info to my kids and guests and use that connection myself.
I double-checked that I have the right IP address and other settings are correct. However, when I browse to "welcome.opendns.com" the sites tells me I am NOT connected. I double-checked that my device is connected to the right wireless network (NOT the xfinity one) but still not luck. What am I doing wrong?

Yes, these screen shots are useful to a certain extent. In case you only have IPv4 connectivity (and not IPv6 connectivity), I would expect that OpenDNS should be working for you. But I need to see more information.
Copy & paste the complete plain text output of the following diagnostic commands to here, from a computer connected to the TP-Link router:
nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220
nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com.
nslookup whoami.akamai.net.
netsh interface ipv4 show configIdeally the xfinity device should be in bridged mode, but from your screen shots it is in NAT mode. Can you change this? If not, can you configure DNS servers on the xfinity device too?

Ok, Rotblitz, this is what I get back:
