I just can't afford to spend more time on this at this second. I appreciate everyone's responses...now I need to go attach all the IoT back to the wifi after the wipes of the Routers and Satellites.
I've submitted a request to the faulty geo-location DB providers to update to Ohio from Kentucky for the IP address I continue to get.
To answer a few questions without making this post 44 posts long:
1) Same public ip address comes up when connected to Orbi with laptop connected directly via ethernet OR wireless.
2) Spectrum put their modem into bridge mode so there is no double NAT going on.
3) When I connect my laptop directly to the Spectrum modem via ethernet, I get a different public IP address
4) The "Router MAC Address" selection is "Use Default Address"
If I figure it out, I'll post the answer but I'm just done trying to get this to work properly. I'll deal with wrong geo-location tagging of IP address for now...I have sent requests for updates to the DB providers...that's probably going to be my least painful option at this point.
