IP Address Conflict
I'm not very networking savy so help me out. I am using Orbi Wifi 6 (RBK853). For some reason, my work laptop is getting assigned an IP address that conflicts with a SQL server database that I a...
What happens if you change the default DHCP IP address pool range on the RBR to something like .100 to .200?

What is the 192.168.# on the VPN? 192.168.1.x? If so, try setting the RBRs router IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1 and range .100 to .200 and test.
What FW version is loaded on the system?
Check with the VPN provider to get more information on what your system should be set to to help avoid conflicts.
Thanks for the reply. All of this is a bit over my head. See my responses below.

Is this what the "Use router as DHCP server" along with "starting address and ending address" is? Currently, it starts at 2 and ends at 254. My "problem" IP address is 35. This is where I was thinking if I set this to starts at 36 and ends at 254 it may solve my problem. Is that what you're suggesting above? Seems like it. I just don't want to screw something up and find myself without internet/wifi, especially since I don't know what I'm doing.

Is this the LAN/TCPIP section? On my orbi router, it is 192.168.1.1. In this approach, you're saying to change to 192.168.0.1? That would mean devices would be assigned 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254 if I'm understanding correctly, right? That seems like it would work too, and not reduce my total number of available IP addresses, compared to using the above approach. Again, I'm pretty unfamiliar with all of this.
What FW version is loaded on the system?
V7.2.6.31_5.0.24. I checked for firmware updates and there were none.

The VPN is my work VPN. I've got a ticket into IT support but they haven't been very helpful. After connecting to my work VPN, if I check my IP address through ipconfig, it shows as 192.168.1.35, which is the problem IP that is assigned to the SQL server.
