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.
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.
You'll be fine now.
Can keep the start up sequence for future use if needed however that would be only if you changed out the modem or needed to fully power down everything.
Enjoy.
