I am having mixed results with OpenDNS and the Telkom mega105wr router.

Does anyone here know how to set it up proper?

I've placed the nameservers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. under "Advanced>Application>DNS proxy" is this correct?

Not sure about that particular router setup, but you can always just add it to your machine's TCP/IP settings. Assuming you're getting an IP address via DHCP from your router (although it won't really make a difference, even if you're on static). Access the TCP/IP properties of your LAN connection in Windows, set the option, "Use the following DNS server addresses", and add the OpenDNS servers there. This will override the DNS setting received from the DHCP server. You'll need to do this on each machine on your LAN - which could be painful if you've got a few. But if it's one or two, then it may be the simplest solution.

Thanks, I set it up on my PC first but my router seems to assign it's own DNS so I set the router using the settings I mentioned earlier but I still cant seem to get it to work 100% :confused:
