RBR50 Cannot change DHCP range or IP Subnet
Since I upgraded to firmare V2.7.1.6 I'm having some problems... My router seems to have its LAN interface configured with IP subnet 192.168.1.0/24 and the router's address is 192.168.1.250 The...

The start and end of the dhcp range are parameters. Maybe it would be possible to set them from the telnet interface. i.e.
config set dhcp_start = 192.168.1.2
config set dhcp_end = 192.168.1.99 (or something)
config commit
and there is lan_ipaddr, which on my Orbi is lan_ipaddr = 192.168.1.1
I just realized that while I have several soldering irons, I have no device with an RS232 port. Does this mean U-Boot is not ever in my future?

Could this be a typo? v2.7.1.6 does not appear to be a firmware release for the RBR50. (v2.7.1.60 is)
You are correct, the Orbi router is supposed to have IP address 192.168.1.1. Can you bring up the Orbi web interface, the Advanced Tab, and look at the box "Router Information"? It actually lists the router as 192.168.1.250?
If so, this is not right. I would be tempted to perform a Factory Reset and set it up again.
