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...
The LAN on the Orbi is coming up 192.168.0.1 after a reset? This is not correct. It should be 192.168.1.1...
I knolw your already on v210. I'd like you to again, manually re-load v210 using the steps I provided to see this changes anything.

Router Firmware Version
V2.2.1.210
I factory reset it just the other morning when my cable modem reset (which I've done at leaset once before this time). By default the address comes up on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. Then I promptly change it to 10.99.99.1. I don't even want to sit on the same first octet as my cable modem. I don't want a chance of an IP conflict. Then there's Orbi's "special" behavior with IP conflict detection....when there is no conflict.
I said the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. The address of the Orbi itself is of course, 192.168.1.1. It is exactly what it should be.
Can you ask your ISP to change the modems default IP address pool to something other than 1.0? Try setting .0.1 instead.
Even if its' 1.0, this shouldn't be a problem for the Orib using .1.1. If the ISP can change the 1.0 to .0.1, this may resolve this.
I'd even ask for a different model to try out as well.

The default subnet for my cable modem when it is in diagnostic/connecting mode is 192.168.*100*.0/24. There is no overlap. That's why I'm on here complaining. There are no settings that need to be changed. The only setting that needs to be changed is the Orbi's detection of IP conflicts which is *broken*.
garrettg84 I believe that you can simulate the issue at any time by disconnecting the ISP cable coming into the modem so that the modem will switch to private addressing on all interfaces, right?
