Well it is not.
I have changed RBRE960 router lan to 10.10.10.0/24 and VPN address still 192.168.254.2
While second router RBR850 lan 192.168.5.0/24 with VPN address also 192.168.254.2
Am I missing something?
Thank you.

What parameter would one set using a command line interface (telnet) to manage the IP subnet assigned to VPN connections?
- Idle curiosity. Would like to see what happens when I try it on a test system.
- I have heard rumors of a way to enable telnet on the AX products This might prove to be a solution to this specific circumstance.

openvpn_tun_ipaddr=192.168.254.1

So, as an update - I have official answer that VPN address could not be changed at the moment on AX Orbi.
They suggested to create feature request, so I did:
