Orbi RBR50 v2 outputs 2 different IP Adresses

My Orbi outputs 2 IP Adresses. Devices randomly connect to IP address  172.168.x.x..which does not have internet.On the other hand, the 192.xxx.xx is working perfectly fine. Is there a way I can set to a fixed single IP Address? What is causing the Orbi to output two IP Adresses... it is annoying to forget network and gamble for devices to connect to the right IP to get internet..

    It would help to know how this conclusion was reached.

    Assuming that the Orbi is in the default router mode, the most common IP address for the Orbi LAN ports is 192.168.1.1 and it assigns other IP addresses in the 192.168.1.x subnet to devices connected to the Orbi.

    Please explain more about "Devices randomly connect". Can you give an example?
