I don't know what you mean by setting the subnet mask to "-0-" That doesn't make sense.
If you hardcoded an IP address into your camera (which is usually a bad idea) you can just temporarily set Orbi to use the 192.168.86.1/255.255.255.0 subnet. Then log into the camera, set the camera back to DHCP, then restore Orbi to whatever subnet you want.
If you must access 192.168.1.X and 192.168.86.X at the same time, then you could try to set Orbi to use 192.168.1.1/255.255.0.0. However, Orbi may not accept that, as 192.168.1.X is usually used with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.
