Conflicting IP shown for devices connected to Orbi satellite
I recently made the switch to ATT "gigabit" fiber and the WiFi speeds are not only worse than my previous half megabit Xfinity connection, they are also more erratic despite using the same Orbi RBR50...

What makes this even more confusing is that if I log into my Orbi router using orbilogin.com, I see that those same devices connected to the satellite have IPs in the 10.0.0.x range! How is this even possible? How can the same devices have two different IPs at the same time?
Start with just orbilogin.com, to factor out any possible app incorrect display info. Also, check the actual IP addresses used by your device(s) and don't just rely upon what Orbi tells you. If a Windows or Mac laptop you can find the IP address and the same for most devices like Fire TV, Tivo, etc. Each device will only be using one IP address at a time.
