Update: We’ve gotten great response from D-Link and Actiontec customers. No need to send anymore. Still waiting on confirmation about Blackberry.
We realize there are lots of popular (and not-so-popular) routers and modems we don’t have instructions for on our site. But it’s hard writing instructions for a device you don’t have in front of you. That’s why we’re calling on you to help us build out our Get Started library. At the top of our wish list are instructions for these models:
* D-Link DGL-4300
* D-Link DI-604
* Actiontec GT701
* Actiontec GT704
Inititally we thought we could write instructions based on user manuals. We found the manuals, but they didn’t provide enough information to teach others how to change DNS settings.
This just in: For Verizon users and others, we added instructions for the very popular Westell 327w today.
If you are so kind as to help us (and other OpenDNS users who share in your router or modem taste) out with instructions, please send a few bulleted steps based on any of the instructions we already have. Screenshots to accompany the steps would be great, too. Anyone who sends in accurate instructions will get a shout-out on our Web site and will forever be known as the helpful author of the [insert your router/modem model here] instructions.
Don’t worry about perfection. At this point anything will help us. And, of course, it’s our job to polish up the instructions and make them look pretty for the site.
There is also the possibility that some routers/modems don’t allow users to change DNS settings. That information is as helpful, if not more, than instructions.
Just send an e-mail with the instructions and screenshots, or other feedback, to contact at opendns dot com.
Oh, and if you have a Blackberry and can verify that these instructions work, we’d really appreciate it. 
1. Go to Start->Network Connections->Show All Connections
2. Right-click your BlackBerry Internet icon, select Properties.
3. A window will open. Click the Server Types tab.
4. Click TCP/IP Settings.
5. Select “Use the following DNS server addresses:”
6. Enter 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
Black Micro
Instructions for D-Link DI-604

2. Login
3. Click the ‘WAN’ button on the left.
4. In the ‘Primary DNS Address’ field to 208.67.222.222
5. In the ‘Secondary DNS Address’ field to 208.67.222.220

Your done.

2.) Login
3.) Click “Setup Basic Settings”
4.) On “Network Configuration”, enter Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222 and Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220

Hello, I have a BB Pearl
I didn’t see the “BlackBerry Internet icon” in my network connections.
(I did connect the BB to my PC via USB)

I tried the instructions above without success. They seem to be for something that has windows mobile as a Blackberry doesn’t have a start button or a mouse to do a “right click.”
I can help you test instructions. Just email me. I have the Blackberry 8700G from T-Mobile.

The instructions given above for the blackberry are specifically for using it as a tethered modem to a Windows PC.
A big thing that should be noted first, then, is that you would need to create the DUN connection first so you can use these instructions to go back and edit that DUN with the new DNS server settings.
With Cingular and T-Mobile, the instructions are fairly straight forward and can be found easily on a google search.
Verizon is going to charge for this feature to be added.
