Netgear Nighthawk RAX 45 Setup?
I purchased a NetGear Nighthawk RAX 45 from Costco and am having trouble setting up OpenDNS because the interface does not let me change the DNS server settings. When I called Netgear, I was informed that this router is not compatible with OpenDNS. Has anyone heard something similar?

After searching I was unable to find any details on how to change the DNS addresses on this device or if it was even possible.
If you can not change the DNS server addresses on your router can always change the DNS settings on your computer instead (see https://store.opendns.com/setup/#/). You will get the same benefits, and if you have a small number of computers on your network, it's relatively easy. In some cases, users have found success in configuring both their router and computers.
Another option would be to install a third-party router, such as one you would buy at a store, in between the ISP's router and the rest of the devices on your network. You can then configure OpenDNS on that device and it will distribute the DNS settings to the devices on your network.
