Model: Archer C64  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.13.2 Build 230824 Rel.74702n(5553)

I want to configure OpenDNS Family Shield IP DNS addresses in my router, basically 208.67.222.123 & 208.67.220.123. But I'm unable to find a way to do it. I tried a few settings but after making those changes, I wasn't able to connect to the internet and so had to revert back. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Try entering these DNSs here:

 

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".

I already tried this, but it didn't work. After doing this change, I couldn't connect to the internet. Also, my internet connection type is PPoE.

That's the only way to set a different DNS than these provided by your ISP, no matter what's the internet connection type (Dynamic IP or PPPoE).

That's covered on OpenDNS page as well - here, but I don't know why this doesn't work for you.

Double checking the DNS IP addresses on the OpenDNS guide I pointed the IP addresses are 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222 - probably you should try these as well.
