Orbi RBR750 issuing two IP Address Networks 192.168.0.1 & 192.168.1.1
Yesterday, I installed the new Orbi 4200 / RBR750 and I have been fighting intermittment internet connectivity. In viewing the connected devices I noticed the two different IP Address Networks. The devices which did not have internet connections were attached to the 192.168.0.1 network.
How do I turn off the 192.168.0.1 network. In addition, I do not have a Guest Network set up. It's turned Off.

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

The most likely situation is that the ISP modem/router is assigning IP addresses in the 192.168.0.x subnet and the Orbi is assigning IP addresses in the 192.168.1.x subnet.
What it sounds like is the Orbi router and Orbi satellite are both connected to the ISP router (or maybe to a switch that is connected to the ISP router).
The Orbi router WAN (yellow) port is supposed to be connected directly to the ISP device and Orbi satellites should be connected to the router LAN ports (or over WiFi).
The Guest network is an option on the same menu at Attached Devices.
Sounds like you have 2 devices (router, orbi, perhaps another) responding to DHCP requests and giving out addresses. Disable DHCP server on the non-Orbi device.
There are ways to verify what is going on.
- The Orbi Advanced Tab, Setup Menu, LAN Setup describes what IP subnet the Orbi has created for devices on the LAN side of the Orbi and which range of IP addresses it will assign to them.
There is also a table which can be used to assign IP addresses to specific devices. I like to 'know' where my printer is and where the Orbi satellites are, so I put them into the table. - The Internet Setup page shows which IP address has been assigned to the Orbi router. If it is a private IP address, then it has been assigned by a local router, not directly by the ISP.

So the Orbi Satellite keeps displaying the 192.168.0.4 IP address. I've reset the device and resync'd it with the router but it maintains the 192.168.0.4 address, see attached. Right now it's out of sync with the router.
