Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

It is true that most of the time Orbi routers will create a Local Area Network (LAN) with the IP subnet 192.168.1.x, reserving the IP 192.168.1.1 for the router itself.
However, if the Internet Service Provider (ISP) has assigned an IP address in 192.168.1.x to the Orbi router then the router will create a LAN using 10.0.0.x
What IP address has been assigned to the device being used to connect to the Orbi router web interface?
(Is it in 192.168.1.x or in 10.0.0.x?) The router should be found at the Gateway IP address.

The LAN created by the router is 192.168.1.*.
It is correctly serving up the 192.168.1.* over DHCP.
