IP conflicts with RBR750

SO, my new AX4200 config (router & 2 nodes) is a mess. Before I set it up, I changed my existing setup to lease IP addresses < 130, and waited for everything to have an IP address in that range before I did anything. Then I updated firmware all around, and did a factory reset before setting it up. Then before I let any devices connect to the Orbi network I changed DHCP to be > 130. then I let everything connect and virtually everything got new IP addresses. Then the problems began...

Devices control how they reset their network IP address assignments.  If you change the DHCP settings in your router to use different IP ranges, you may need to restart each device to force it to acquire a new DHCP address.  Old assignments causing IP address conflicts can occur but this is not necessarily an Orbi issue.

Also, why are you changing the IP address range in your Orbi?  Are you also setting up some devices with static IPs?  That is another way to create IP address conflicts unless done carefully and correctly.  My recommendation is to stick with DHCP address reservations for all your devices but configure them in the Orbi to be "reserved" so they are unlikely to change.  For best results, after configuring your Orbi IP address ranges force a reset or reboot of every device so they get a fresh, and current, DHCP address from the Orbi.
