V2.3.5.30 Upgrade Has Been A Disaster

This is a reoccuring problem. Since we're dealing with different levels of users, somehow NG needs to figure out how to work/display the setup better. Is there a warning or attention to the type of modem to be used.? Plain language please.
Advice,............ know your current system and then research the Orbi or any other network device you plan to introduce.
My ISP router (Actiontec) is at 10.10.0.1 handing out addresses from 10.10.0.2 through 10.10.0.100 and my Orbi gets static 10.10.0.200.
The Orbi is at 192.168.1.1 handing out it's own addresses including the three Satellites at 192.168.1.5, 192.168.1.6, and 192.168.1.7.
This has worked perfectly for many months. What is wrong with using Orbi for wifi on a different segment and getting WAN from my ISP router?

Nothing as long as the wifi is turned off at the ISP modem let the Orbi handle the rest. If it were me, I would get rid of the ISP router (Actiontec) altogether and let the Orbi run the entire network. Simple in this case may be better. Ask yourself 'what is the ISP router (Actiontec) doing for youy that the Orbi can't do just as well alone?
Nothing wrong persae, however you are in a double NAT condition. This can cause problems.
You can keep both routers in there current configuration, however I recommend using the modems DMZ for the Orbi RBR as suggested in option #2.

- Issues that you’re getting are for sure caused by double NAT in your network.
That it worked before doesn’t mean that it’s correct.
If you want to keep the ISP modem/router as your main router then please set Orbi in AP mode.
