XR1000 cannot set up using 192.168.1.x ip's from router DHCP
I've tried to set up my DHCP addresses using 192.168.1.02 to .64. It keeps changing to 10.0.0.2 to .64. Anyone else have this issue and if you did what did you do to resolve it? Thanks in advance.

That probably because you seem to have a router already in front of the XR router that already uses 182.168.1.# schema. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.
Try 192.168.0.#? Or configure one of the above suggestions.
You could try changing the host routers IP address schema to 192.168.0.1 then you can use 192.168.1.1 on the XR.
