Broke dns trying to revert to stock settings after trying to enable opendns [wndr3800]

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi-

Brand new user. Successfully installed openwrt 19.07.n [current stable release] on my wndr3800. Tried to enable opendns by unchecking the use peer dns on the wan config and adding two dns servers 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222. This promptly broke my internet and I was unable to load any web pages. I tried checking strict order and all servers in DCHP and DNS configuration. This didn't fix the problem. I rebooted the modem router and computer and problem persisted. I reverted all these settings and rebooted the modem router and computer and the problem persisted. Trying nslookup openwrt.org results in:

Server: 192.168.1.1
Address: 192.168.1.1#53

** server can't find openwrt.org: REFUSED

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks for your help. I used factory reset and restored my settings. All is working using the peer dns.
