If you have a router in front of the Orbi router, then you may see 192 or 172 or 10 IP addresses.
You can use one of these however the 3rd number may conflice with the first router, i.e. 192.168.1.1 or .0.1. So you can use 192.168.2.1 if you use the Orbi router in router mode. Walking the setup wizard will and should auto detect if there is a router in front of the Orbi router and change to a different IP address string that differs from the 1st router.
