Trying to change my SMC router's WAn setting to use opendns dns.

Following the instructions: https://store.opendns.com/setup/device/smc

I don't see advanced settings anywhere, and none of the menu or menu options have WAN and dns relation options.

Could my ISP (who provided the router) blocked that option?
