Orbi router assigning IPs on 2 different subnets
My Orbi setup consists of the RBR50 with one RBS50 satellite. My modem is bridged. The problem I'm having is the router is assigning IPs from two different subnets; 192.168.1.XX and 192.168.88.XX. ...
Not sure if you figured this out yet, but I have a test lab that I am working on, and just got the Orbi myself this week. Am a little disappointed that I can't route my lab subnets from within the orbi network. I have 172.16.x.x, 10.x.x.x, and 192.168.x.x networks in my lab environment.
There appear to be some firewall rules configured on the underlying Orbi linux OS that blocks anything except 192.168.1.0/24 traffic. I also suspect this would not be supported by Netgear, so if you are concerned about that, I would recommend against this. I needed it for my studies, and it did the trick for me to allow access. Hope this helps...

Hope this helps, even if this is a couple of weeks late.
