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 befor...

So does the RBR and system work if you don't change the IP address range?
What range are you using? 192.168.1.2 thru .130?
I currently use 192.168.0.100 to .150 and don't see DHCP issues. Having ranges on either side of this default DHCP pool size leaves me room for static assigned devices. Everything with in the pool can be reserved IP assigned.
Be sure that when you set a new pool size, that you reboot ALL ther devices as well after the RBR configuration is applied. Be there are no static assigned IP addressed devices with in your new pool size.
I am using Verizon FiOS, and I connect my router directly to that. Only one router on my network.
I did let the Orbi using the default range, but I had lots of conflicts. That's why I reverted back to my previous router, and setup non-conflicting IP ranges for them before trying again. I wanted to have confidence that Orbi wasn't assigning an IP address to a device that had not requested a new IP address yet.
Well when setting up any new router it's best to power OFF all devices while you get the new router setup. Then after the new router is set up, power one the devices one at a time and let them and router get IP assignments.

I have some 50-60 devices, some are hardwired and I can't really do that. When I did suspect a conflict, I would go around to that device and have it reconnect/reboot but that didn't help.
It is running the current version of the firmware, that was the first thing I did; upgrade to latest firmware, factory reset, then set up. I've done that twice now with the same results.
What I found amazing, ever after a device got a new IP address and I would see a completely different address in the connected device table, I couldn't actually find the MAC address in the table.
And I would swear that I would see different devices showing up with different addresses each time I looked; like I would see one set of devices in the top 5, then I would look again and there would be some that were different.
I'm sorry I don't really know the make/model of the ONT. It is provided by Verizon FiOS.
Would be helpful if you can find the model of your FIOS.

It was running current firmware; repeatedly had it check and would always say no new updates available.
Sorry, not even sure how to tell the model of the FiOS ONT. It's just a box on the outside of the house. Ethernet comes from that directly to my modem
