Hi all, I'm new in this forum.

I'm using the MR200 router whit a SIM card.

In order to improve the parental control settings, I would like to use the OpenDNS addresses instead the default ones.

How can I change the default DNS addres and set the OpenDNS addres?

Thanks in advanced.

Check out section 11. 4. 2. Use the 4G LTE Router as a DHCP Server is the manual. Under Go to Advanced > Network > LAN Settings, you can specify your primary and secondary DNS server.

I have the same request.
I changed the Primary and Secondary DNS Server, saved and rebooted, but the status page still shows the original DNS IPs.
When I go in to the settings again, my OpenDNS IPs are still there.

Looking at similar routers, they normally have a checkbox to activate this DNS, but there's no such checkbox visible.
How can I get the OpenDNS settings to activate?

This is my situation too. I want to enforce parental controls through OpenDNS but changing the primary and secondary dns server settings doesn’t seem to do anything, the status page shows something different.

Once defined the DNS IPs, apparently nothing changed in the status page.
But after I discovered that the new DNS is effectively in use.

I checked trying to open a "porn" page; the page was not loaded and a message from OpenDNS appears.

So, I can consider solved this thread. I hope the same for you...

Agree, same here. Even if status page show the isp dns, the clients are using the LAN setting sptecified DNS. I verified on my android, long press the wi-fi icon for my connection, advanced, and there my specified dns (in my case 8.8.8.8).
