RBR860 gateway address wrong on DHCP
I'm not sure what is upstream of the router. It's cable, provided by an outsourced ISP, and their attitude is "we don't support you because it isn't equipment we supplied". I get a static public IP...

The LAN settings have an address of 10.0.1.1 for the router, and then a range of addresses for the LAN, using DHCP, starting from 10.0.1.2. I want to use both wired and wireless.
I Any suggestions why the router IP address is returned as 10.0.1.2? I expected the DHCP server to return 10.0.1.1 as the default router.
You are correct. The Orbi router is supposed to supply its LAN IP as the gateway IP and the DNS server using DHCP.
Congratulations on being the first person (in my memory) to report this situation. 10.0.1.x is a valid LAN IP subnet.
I would not expect any device using DHCP to be able to reach the internet - nothing!
Could you post a screenshot of the top part of the LAN Setup page?
Just guessing: the 90 days of 'complimentary support' have expired, so contacting Netgear requires purchasing a support contract?
