Sparse report when using a D-Link router

I recently bought a D-Link router, (G225). I notice that the reports produced using OpenDNS when using the D-Link router are sparse - just a few lines. Compare that to the reports produced when using a Netgear router which are pages and pages. Why would using a D-Link mask traffic? Nobody reports problems accessing sites, cabled or via WiFi, its just that the OpenDNS report doesn't show much traffic at all when the D-Link is connected.

  Are you going to ask D-Link related questions in the OpenDNS forum?  Not a good idea!  You definitely should raise this in a D-Link forum.

  Regarding OpenDNS, the OpenDNS stats and logs represent all the DNS traffic out of your network which reached OpenDNS - not more and not less.  DNS traffic is not web traffic and does not relate to "pages" or any other objects, but solely to DNS queries and domains.

  Thanks. The reason I asked it in the OpenDNS forum is that D-Link has a page with links to instructions on working with D-Link routers.

  Yes, but these were probably instructions about how to configure OpenDNS on the router, certainly nothing about stats and logs from OpenDNS.
