RBR50 started assigning 192.168.10.x instead of 192.168.0.x to Apple devices

I forgot to post the firmware version! It is V2.7.4.24, same for the RBR50 and the two RBS50 satellites. It's connected directly to a Verizon FIOS Alcatel ONT I-211M-L. The NetGear Orbi handles DHCP assignments - it plugs directly into the ONT. I.e. I'm not using any Verizon routers, only the ONT.

I had gone to the Advanced -> Administration -> Firmware Update section of the admin module. It says that there is no new firmware version available. I didn't realize there was a newer firmware version available for manual installation! I'll definitely consider giving it a try.

Do these DHCP assignments to Apple devices show up in the Orbi Log File?
Did anything happen "about a week ago?"
- Was there an iOS software update?
- Any new devices connected?
This sound suspiciously like there is another DHCP server on the network.
