Orbi RBR750 IP address is odd to me
Hello cool Netgear community. I noticed something odd that I could use someone to tell me if this is normal or not ideal. My home network issues IP addresses on 192.168.0.x, with 192.168.0.1 bein...

I suppose I should have all these devices on the same network, right? Orbi shouldn't be on a different subnet, assuming I want all my devices to play together. How do I go about forcing Orbi to drop the .1?
If the Orbi is placed in Access Point (AP) mode, then the ISP router will assign all IP addresses in the 192.168.0.x IP subnet and everything will be in the same network.
This accomplishes several goals:
- All devices are in the same IP subnet.
- There is no longer a "Double NAT", which can interfere with specific internet applications. (Thousands of users have a Double NAT and are blissfully unaware. Those who are affected learn very quickly that "something is wrong.")
- None of the Orbi router functions remain enabled. No Armor. No Parental Controls. No OpenVPN. etc. etc.
