Nighthawk changed IP addresses
When I setup my new network with Cable replacing DSL I purchased a Arris 6190 modem and a Nighthawk R9000. The Modem IP address was and still is 192.168.100.1. The R9000 had a IP address of 1...
I presume since after changing to the newer modem thay maybe the NG router didn't either detect the change since you may have not powered it off or reset it. Now that you reset the NG router, it detected that the conflict in IPs was gone.
Let us know if change in channels and modes helps any.
The one reason could be that you had previously had a router in front of this NG router in which it had also the same 192.168.1.1 and during the set up of the NG router, it would automatically detect this conflict and change to a 10.0.0.something address. Most routers will do this if they detect this same IP address conflict. I can only presume that if the conflict would not happen and change maybe if the 1st router was changed out or removed and something else like a new modem only was installed and if the NG router was factory reset, the NG router would not use the more common default IP address of 192.168.1.1. You can use the other 10.0.0.something address string if you need too, just manually input it.
Yes the SB 6190 does not include a router.
Also be aware of this with the 6190:

What wireless modes are you using on the NG router? Try up to 300Mb on 2.4Ghz and up to 300Mb on 5Ghz.
Set manual channels to 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz if there not being used.
Set WPA2 and AES only on each radio and test.
Any other neighboring wifi near by? How many and what channels are they using? Use a wifi scanner.
We are on 5 acres, nearest house is 1/4 mile away...doubt interference from any wifi
Changed the channel on the 2.4G to 1....had best signal when check with wifi analyzer.
There is no 300Mb on either 2.4G or 5G..just a pull down for each listing "up to 347Mb"
Changed to this.
I do not remember if the DSL modem was still active when I installed the Nighthawk...that modem did have 192.168.1.X and that would explain the Nighthawk going to 10.0.0.X.
But why after 2 months did the Nighthawk drop the 10.0.0.X? It was working great.

A classic case of needing to start things in the correct order?
As specified in Netgear's advice.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug the modem.
- Turn off the modem router and computers.
- Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the computers.

And so it was when the new modem was setup along with a MoCA network.
Everything had to be restarted aftermounting on wall and the order you listed was followed.
Modem, Router, MoCA adapter, TV Antenna pre-amp and TV Antenna Amp.
