RBK863S IPv4 assignment
My Orbi RBK863S was first installed as a router, but later changed to an Access Point to reduce conflict with my AT&T gateway/router. However, my PC is still getting assigned 10.x.x.x IPv4 addresses ...

Thanks to all who responded. Here is an update.
It appears the culprit for my not getting internet access on my Ethernet connection had to do with my VPN (Nord). When I changed the setting to NOT launch on startup, My PC was given a 192.168.1.X local IP address. Not sure I'm out of the woods yet and will need a few more reboots to feel confident. Thanks again.

Be sure your putting the RBR in AP mode and connecting the RBR to the host router using the WAN port on the RBR.
