Hi CrimpOn,
Thanks for you reply. When using an Android/iOS device connect to Orbi OpenVPN via LTE network, I am able to see the connected device listed as \"OPENVPN-TUN\" (in \"Attached Device\" web page) and see Orbi assigns an IP address of 192.168.2.2 to device (note: the internal LAN subnet is 192.168.1.X). It works as expected and as you described.
However, with a Windows 10 client, Orbi assigns an IP address of 192.168.1.100 as seen in \"Attached Device\" web page and I can also see in \"Logs\" web page under \"Administration\" a line entry of DHCP IP address 192.168.1.100 assigned to the Windows 10 client . To be clear, the Windows 10 client is connected to LTE network. Made double sure the Windows 10 client is not connected to Orbi's LAN. It's a very basic test. No other OpenVPN client is connected.
As a test, on Windows 10 client I open a command shell to ping Orbi's IP (on LAN side, which is 192.168.1.1), the ping fails (because Orbi OpenVPN assigned the wrong IP address. It should be 192.168.2.2... just like the Android device).
(Note: In my LAN network, I configured Orbi's DHCP Server to have a start IP address of 192.168.1.100 and end IP address of 192.168.1.254. IP address range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99 are IP address statically assigned (using the Address Reservation UI).
This issue appears on both Firmware Version 2.5.1.8 and Version 2.3.5.30. I believe this is a firmware bug in Orbi.
To Netgear Orbi team, please advise.

I had the same issue and fought with it for a few days. Turns out the path where I was saving my downloaded unzipped Windows config files per the instructions was not the path my OpenVPN installation defaulted to. Under the Advanced tab in OpenVPN GUI settings, make sure it is pointed to the folder where you dropped the config files. As soon as I fixed that, mine connected right up, I could print, remote desktop, ping, etc. as advertised.
