orbi RBE371 seems to be munging IP traffic from wifi to ethernet?
Just upgraded my home wifi to Orbi RBE371 with one satellite. Previously I had an asus zenwifi mesh system. Firmware is V12.1.3.11_5.1.12 Everything is working pretty much as expected, very happy ...
Does the Attached Devices display show a device at 10.0.0.111 ?
No, 10.0.0.111 is the address of the Orbi on the WAN side.

You must be double-routing, since 10.0.0.111 is a private (not internet-routable) address.
It sounds like you must have the ethernet connection going to the other router, and not the Orbi.
If you are only using the Orbi for wifi, then you should consider setting it up in AP mode.
yes, I'm currently double routing (the modem is an xfinity gateway in router mode).
I realize this isn't a common configuration, I'm not necessarily opposed to putting the gateway into bridge mode and leaving the orbi in router mode, but I am currently using multiple ethernet ports on the gateway (one for the orbi, a couple for other devices I don't really need on the orbi network), so I'd have to move those devices behind the Orbi if I do go in that direction (this will be a small one-time annoyance).
The thing is, I don't understand why double routing would produce this observation. The raspbery pi shouldn't think my ssh connection is coming from the 10.0.0.111 address, I expect to see 192.168.0.50, which is the address my laptop has. This weekend I can experiment a bit with putting the gateway into bridge mode, and I also can try leaving the gateway in router mode and putting the Orbi into AP mode (this would be my least favored permanent configuration option, though).
I'll try it out and report back.
