That is down to the ISP.
Unless your unnamed ISP allocates you a fixed or static IP address, which isn't usual, this may or may not change.
The modem picks up the IP address. Your router than uses that. You should not need to mess around with that address.
One thing to remember, you have to start the network in the correct order.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
This ensures that the modem gets the WAN AP address before the router starts looking for it.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Would be helpful to know this.
If the ISP modem has a built in router and also uses 192.168.1.1, the the XR router will change it's own IP address of 192.168.1.1 to avoid the conflic with the modems LAN IP address. XR will probably change to a 10.something string. This is OK as well. You can also change the modems LAN IP address string to someting different if you want the XR to use default IP address of 192.168.1.1.
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.
