Netgear Nighthawk R9000 IP Address being assigned wrong
Netgear Nighthawk R9000
Recently router rebooted and when coming back up it began handing out wrong Ip addresses.
Router Firmware Version
V1.0.5.40
I have set for 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.200
And have even gone back in and done address reservations but if router reboots
it will assign several 192.168.10.x addresses
They connect but of course They do nothing because I do not have settings to even see
the .10
Where should i start Looking?
I am by no means an IT specialist and lost as to why it would allow a 192.168.10.x address assignment

Do you have any devices that may have these .10 addresses staticlally configred ON these devices?
What devices do you have connected?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
My R9000 Nighthawk is plugged directly into a Netgear CM700 Modem
and all was working before the reboot so the devices has .1 not .10 before the reboot
It is strange because most devices giving issues are hardwired into the Router (R9000)
which should be handing off the 192.168.1.X addressing scheme to them
I use subnet mask 255.255.255.000 so it should not know about handing over
192.168.10.x address
I have total of 39 Devices on network using hardwired, 2.4g and 5g
Many are hard to reset, thing like Camera, Printer, Bulbs, Plug sockets
thay get setup by Router handing addresses to them or in some cases using mobile device to setup
Thank you for suggestion and concern

I'd try a full on factory reset and setup from scratch. I would also set up a smaller DHCP default IP address pool as well. Say 192.168.1.100 to .200.
What is the R9000 connected to? If the R9000 detects another router on the network (in case yoou have a modem+router combo) it will change addreses to not collide with the gateway. Even so, if you have a modem+router, you'll be in a double NAT situation
Any progress on this?
