2 ssid's two dhcp scopes for home
i just bought a netgear nighthawk 700 ac1900 and thought that it would be able to give out a different dhcp scope for each ssid.
that doenst seem to be the case at this point. havent found it anyway.
here is what im trying to solve.
i want to use opendns on the kids network but i want to use regular dns for the adults. ie... the kids have the password for the protected network only.
is there a router that provides this for home use. 2 ssid's, each with the capability of having its own network settings.
if there is another good way to provide this functionality, i am open to suggestions. I just thought two dchp scopes would work well for this scenario

this is for a home network.
I want 2 ssid's
1 for the kids - dhcp settings that use the parental controls dns servers
1 for the adults - dchp settings that use normal dns servers
the kids network will point them to dns servers that offer parental controls
the adult network not monitored.

Have not done this myself and not sure if it can be done?
Hope someone with more experience can find a method to help you.

Placing the networks on two separate routers limits your ability to view files across the network. With the kids, you should keep an option to explore their computers, if only to run a second opinion malware product.
OpenDNS does provide an override option and stats on web usage. I believe you can solve your problem within OpenDNS. Plus, should your kids determine you adult SSID password - your router configuration solution fails.
