Disable auto change IP address
I've seen similar posts about a way to disable the auto change IP address before. They've been brushed off. The 'answers' and 'solutions' are wrong. There is an issue with the product. Every month wh...
Which page of the ubee manual offers advice? The Advanced->Options page states that once put in Bridged Mode, all of the other menu items can be seen but are not active. The advice must be on another page? I am considering putting my ubee into Bridge Mode, and this discussion has made me reluctant to try it.
So do you see this IP address conflic with your modem and the Orbi?

I have no issues because my ubee cable modem is acting as a router. No matter what happens on the cable side, the modem always shows 192.168.0.1 on its LAN side and assigns my Orbi 192.168.0.3. I have left my Orbi in the default mode of 192.168.1.1 on its LAN side and assigning IP's from the 192.168.1.x range. I also do not have over 100 WiFi devices.
Ok, I was just wondering. So your configuration is working as expected then. No conflict on yours since your modem uses 01. and not 1.1 which then the Orbi would detect a conflict and change it's LAN to 10.something.

You can ask CrimpOn to try that since he has a Ubee model router combo...Would be interesting to know the results. This would help verify if there is a problem with the Orib and modem router combo units in this kind of condition...

You are correct. This is the same behavior of every single cable modem I've ever had over the past 25 years. Cisco branded, Motorola branded, Various ISP brands, as well as this Ubee branded modem all do exactly the same thing. (Yes, I move. A lot.) When the RF is removed, even when bridged, they drop to the maintenance/troubleshooting mode and offer RFC 1918 addresses so that you can access the modem's configuration pages or in my case the diagnostic pages because I have no access to configuration.

His modem does not need to change operation. He is not bridged. There is no reason for the system to change operation. His modem is functioning as a router as is his Orbi. Even when he is connected, he is still able to access his diag/admin pages.
So, when your ubee modem is in bridge mode, can you still connect to 192.168.100.1 ? (i.e. if I "go wild" and change mine from router to bridge, can I connect to change it back?)

No. If I want to see diagnostics/configs, I have to disconnect RF or reset the modem.
