ORBI PRO first install - does not work - incredible lack of support
I bought an Orbi Pro 9 months ago because there was an offer on Amazon and I was buying a new home. Just in these days I am finally in my new home, and now trying to setup the Orbi. The 2 satellite ...

I can reach the router page at 10.0.0.1/index.htm with my smartphone, connected to ORBI Wifi, but I can NOT access this page for example from my pc even if it is in the same LAN as the ORBI Router, that is always connected also via ethernet....
What LAN IP is the PC adapter configured to? It must be in the same IP subnet. With DHCP enabled, I would expect it does receive a correct IP config for the 10.0.0.x network, including subnet mask and default gateway.
My PC takes the IP from the TIM ISP Modem, and it is 192.168.1.100
now I understand that it cannot reach 10.0.0.1 that is a different net, but I have to keep it on 192.168
Can I configure ORBI to have IP 192.168.1.1 ???
That is the default IP, I also moved my ISP modem IP, to free that for him !
Thank you again for your huge help

- No, this is the outer network for now.
You still can reach the moden (more the TIM Router LAN) from that 10.0.0.x network. It's in the route, the default gateway.Sorry I do not understand your answer
first step:
Can I put 192.168.1.1 as ORBI Router IP ?
Well, many things are possible. However, currently you operate two routers, the TIM one, and the Orbi Pro. With this environment, you can't have to routers with two local networks, and the same LAN IP subnet. Said that before: You can't have the TIM LAN and the Orbi Pro WAN/Internet side one one LAN and IP subnet.
Possible alternate approaches would be to use the TIM router as the primary NAT router and operate the Orbi Pro as a pure Access Point (loosing the possibility to have the Orbi Pro handing more than one LAN IP subnet) , or change the TIM router to bridge mode, and terminate the IP on the Orbi Router WAN Interface (giving up the limited capabilities of the TIM router).
If you insist (for whatever unknown reason) to use 192.168.1.1 as the Orbi Pro Router LAN, you need to reconfigure the TIM router to use a different IP subnet than 192.168.1.0/24
EDIT: For what reason you think you must keep this 192.168.1.x network, and what for you need your PC connected direct to this network?.
