Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...
I recommend using the modems DMZ for your Orbi router while in router mode. This will help with any double NAT issues.
Yes, the reason your Orbi router sets up 10.x.x.x is that your ISP modems is using the same default 192.168.1.1 that most NG routers use. So during setup, the wizard will change the NG routers IP address pool to not conflict with the modesm IP address pool. You can change from 10.x.x.x to 192.168.0.1 if you like.

It's too bad this site doesn't have an option for user surveys. It'd be helpful if we knew problems were predominantly on systems in an early mfg run and/or how they were set up. Mine was purchased from Amazon at end of June 2017.
FURRYe38, thanks for the tip. I should have clarified. I'm not having any issues at all so far. Everything works great for me (knock on wood).
Still, I like the idea of placing the Orbi in DMZ since it's handling NAT anyway. Thanks!
Ya you'll be fine to use the DMZ. If your not seeing any other issues. Don't reset for now.
