RBK50 how do I change my IP Address
My IP address on my router is 10.0.0.1 and I need to change it to a 198.168.0.1 IP address. How can I do this?
Thanks,
Tony

I'll try to explain the best I can. I have a professional golf device called SkyTrak that I use for training. The device is known as a launch monitor. It measures and records data when you strike a golf ball such as flight path, distance, ball speed, club head speed, apex, ball spin, etc. The launch monitor sits on the ground next to the ball and connects to a mobile device, in my case an iPad Pro and a Galaxy Tab S3 via a WI-FI connection. The SkyTrak connects to my mobile devices in 2 modes. One is known as "Direct Connect" which allows my mobile devices to connect via the SkyTrak's WI-FI signal. The second way to connect my mobile devices to the SkyTrak is via the "Network Connect" mode, which is the preferred method. The "Network Connect" mode is supposed to connect to my personal WI-FI router and this connection allows me to send data to the SkyTrak site for data analysis and data storage. Data analysis and storage is not available in the "Direct Connect" mode. The IP address on the SkyTrak launch monitor is 10.0.0.1 which is the same IP address for my Orbi router. This creates a conflict and prevents me from connecting my mobile devices to my SkyTrak via the preferred WI-Fi connection, "Network Connection" mode. SkyTrak technical support advised me to change the IP address on my router in order to prevent the conflict. The IP address on the SkyTrak can't be changed. So it doesn't matter to me what the IP address is on the router as long as it is not 10.0.0.1. I have attached a photo of the SkyTrak.

Sounds like an ignorant/amateur design choice to set the IP to 10.0.0.1. They should have at least used something odd like 10.0.0.253.
So does it work after changing your Orbi LAN address to 192.168.0.1?
