Set Up Router (Zyxel EMG3425-Q10A) for OpenDNS But isn't working, no blocking

I have an Zyxel EMG3425-Q10A router.  I logged into the router, updated the DNS settings to OpenDNS, 

• 208.67.222.222
• 208.67.220.220

I have restarted the router and my computer and done the cache flushing. 

But when I visit the test page, it still says that OpenDNS is not being used and the "internetbadguys.com" test page is not being blocked either. 

What am I missing??

  I need more information.  Copy & paste the complete plain text output of the following diagnostic commands to here:

  nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220
  nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com.
  nslookup whoami.akamai.net.
  ipconfig /all

  This is the configured DNS service on your computer:

  DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 23.21.43.50
                                         169.53.235.135

  This is clearly not OpenDNS and most likely overwrites the router settings.  Or you didn't configure the router correctly.  Configure the computer to obtain the DNS server settings automatically via DHCP from the router, or configure OpenDNS on the computer.  The OpenDNS resolver addresses are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
