Router IP changed from 192.XXX to 10.xxx
My new Orbi has changed from 192.168.1.1 to 10.0.1.1 Now I cannot connect to Orbi at all. Tried typing in 10.0.1.1 and also I see that Mac Internet setting say IPv4 address 10.0.1.46 and that doesn...
Orbi will change its LAN address automatically when Orbi's WAN port is assigned a WAN address that conflicts with the LAN address. So, you must have another router between Orbi and the Internet that is assigning a private IP address in the 192.168.1.X range to Orbi's WAN port.
Either remove that other router or run Orbi in access point mode.
I have a Netgear CM500 that is only a cable modem. That is the only thing connected to my Orbi.
That modem has a fixed IP address of 192.168.100.1 for adminitrative access.
What did you enter on the Orbi LAN settings for your LAN address and subnet mask? You should enter 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0.
If you were to use a different subnet mask (e.g. 255.255.0.0) Orbi would exhibit this behavior.
