Can you attach a screen shot of the BRS_wan_lan_conflict message? (Use the Browse button in the lower left, not the "Photos" icon.)
Orbi creates a private IP subnet on the LAN side of the router.

Orbi's first choice is 192.168.1.x. Some ISP combination modems create a private IP subnet of 192.168.1.x, which forces Orbi to pick a different subnet. There are literally hundreds to choose from, but the typical behavior is to pick 10.0.0.x and the Orbi shows a message explaining the conflict. This also indicates that there are now two routers, what is often called a Double NAT situation.

It would be useful to know if any IP addresses had previously been reserved for specific devices on the Advanced Tab, LAN setup page.
