Orbi assigning wrong DHCP IP Space
I have an odd issue where Orbi will assign some devices the wrong IP address space. My default space is 10.0.0.x and I have some devices connected wirelessly that get assigned an ip address of 192.16...
It sounds like there are two DHCP servers at work. Can you please explain:
- What is the Orbi router connected to (brand, model number)?
Is it a router or "simply a modem, nothing more"?
(Hint: if the device has only a single ethernet jack, it is probably a modem. If it has more jacks, it is likely a router.) - Is the Orbi in "router" or Access Point (AP) mode?
Thanks
The Orbi is connected to an AT&T fiber router. The WiFi is disabled on the device.
The Orbi is setup in Router mode. I even checked the DHCP pool configuration on the AT&T Router and it is not within the same IP space as what is being assigned.

Thanks. Since both routers assign IP's, would you mind sharing the DHCP parameters of the AT&T router and the Orbi router?
Orbi 10.0.0.x
AT&T 192.168.1.x
The assigned IP addresses I'm seeing at random are 192.168.2.x
Truly bizzare. The device says it is connected to the Orbi, and the Orbi shows the device with an IP address of 192.168.2.x ?
- Do the devices function? Can they reach the internet?
- By chance, are any devices defined in the Advanced Tab, Setup, LAN Setup tables?
