After you went through the steps outlined in the OpenDNS instructions are you sure you clicked on the Apply button at the bottom of the router screen? No, I am not 100% sure, only 99%. Am I ready to go through resetting everything again if I did remember? (My parrot knows how to say "Dammit!" but I can't figure out why...)

I remember I did hit the 'Apply' button because it told me the router is about the apply the changes and will not be available for a while...
Then I lost the 2.4 Ghz network ( my iPad is on)

I just read that Cisco acquired OpenDNS. https://labs.opendns.com

(reminds me of a Rodney Dangerfield quote, "I think my wife's cheating on me - every time I come home the parrot yells 'quick, out the window!'")

Well, I signed up for OpenDNS from their website, and it seems they are doing all the work. They monitor my IP and filter based on my settings plus what others suggest and get voted on in discussion boards. I think MacKeeper tops the list!
Thanks, guys.

What does MacKeeper and its unsavory reputation have to do with OpenDNS?
