OpenDNS doesn't work for me
Hi,
I struggle setting up OpenDNS on my secondary router, but getting the 'oops' page when testing.
The setup right now is:
Spectrum IPS -> Gryphon (main router) -> Netgear WNR2000v5 (secondary router, separate network for kids)
This is the output I'm getting running those 3 commands in mac console:
Nikolays-MacBook-Pro:my-app nik$ nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.
Server: 192.168.2.1
Address: 192.168.2.1#53

Is there any idea why this is happening?
Thanks!

Thank you, rotblitz!
So even though I point DNS on the secondary router to openDNS, it still doesn't work? Is this because primary router takes over DNS for the secondary and uses ISP dns?
I have this as DNS servers for the secondary router.
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
208.67.222.220
Also attached the screenshot
Can you think of what I'm missing? Is it at all possible to have different DNS servers on a secondary router?
Thank you,
Nik

By secondary router I mean a router that is plugged into a LAN port of the primary router (primary is plugged into modem). Secondary router doesn't extend wifi network of the first router, but creates a separate wifi network. I want adults to stay on the network of the first router and kids be on the second. Both networks work fine, except I want to drive traffic from the second network through OpenDNS. Can you provide a link to resources where I can read more about NAT/bridged config?
