Set up went smoothly. Plugged each device in one by one, checked connection and assigned an internal static address for each.

One question though. I use OpenDNS to filter the undesirable websites for the family. If I set the DNS servers within the modem settings (to OpenDNS), do I need to set each pc's DNS server to 192.168.1.1(modem) or 208.67.222.222(OpenDNS)?:confused:

Cheers.

Current config is: Modem - Auto assigned(ISP)
Each PC - OpenDNS (208.67.222.222)

If you set the router to use OpenDNS, then you can leave all the devices using the router as their DNS and they will use OpenDNS. The router just forwards the DNS requests on.
