After any factory reset, you can be sure to use the same SSID name that you had been using before so that prior connected devices will reconnect and you won't have to set them up again.
Sounds like you have a router upstream from the RBR thats using 192.168.1.1 in which the RBR will auto change to 10.x to avoid this conflict as two routers can not use the same IP address while on the same line.
If your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) 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 Orbi 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 Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router.

Try option #2 first...Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

How are you attempting to log into the Orbi with a web browser?
- Using a URL, such as http://orbilogin.net , or
- Using the IP address which the Genexis has assigned to the Orbi router (base unit)?
