    How to set up router to use OpenDNS

    The Pirate bay was blocked for me and I came across a small guide on how to circumvent this block. It said I should also set up the router to use OpenDNS, and I hit the link in the course guide and choose the brand called Netgear, which is marked on my router and then clicked on the following:

    //192.168.0.1 is the default Netgear router IP address.

    Link by causing a "pop-up" where I must type a username and password. It says in this pop-up as follows:

    "The server 192.168.0.1 Netgear requires a username and password.
    Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection)."

    My question now is: What username and password you need here?

    I hope very much your help because I would very much like the Pirate bay again

    https://www.opendns.com/homenetwork/...device/netgear
    Information such as IP addresses, security keys, opened ports and services, etc., that you modified. (The default username is admin and the password is either password or 1234 Try these before resetting the router.)

    Thank you, now I'm touched, but I can not find the place in there where I have to change the DNS, I have only found a place where you can see the DNS (I think it is) under the menu labeled "Basic settings" They are as:

    WAN Primary DNS 193,162,153,164
    WAN Secondary DNS 194.239.134.83

    If you can change them, they read:

    Primary: 208.67.222.222
    Secondary: 208.67.220.220

    Yes I have found it, but I will also enter

    Static IP Address
    Static IP Mask
    Default Gateway

    Have you followed the guide I linked to?
    Put the cable network setting back to what it was before and follow the wizard.

    It does not, because although I have deleted the zeros that read, write, however, the following:

    "Static IP Address 0.0.0.0 is invalid"

    To penetrate to where I can change the DNS, I have under "Cable Network Settings" selected "Static IP" is the wrong done to me or what?
