If you like you can go for changing the guest network reserved address range using telnet commands as follows:
- nvram set lan1_ipaddr=192.168.3.1
- nvram set lan1_gateway=192.168.3.1
- nvram set lan_ipaddr2=192.168.3.1
- nvram set dhcp_start2=192.168.3.2
- nvram set dhcp_end2=192.168.3.254
- nvram commit
- reboot the router
- Set the LAN IP address to 192.168.2.1 in the Orbi web GUI under >> ADVANCED >> Setup >> LAN Setup

Yeah, I also added a second IP to my desktop so it's on both which then allows me to connect to them to change their IPs.

In another post you wrote:
"Also the RBS50 will give you the widest radio coverage, after that will come RBS20 and RBS40 and then RBW30 with the least coverage."
I need to add another wired satellite to my RBK850 and was wondering if I should wait to find a RBS850 or get a RBS50 now. How much wider is the WiFi 6 Orbi system coverage?
I didn't expect this 2 node system to almost cover my whole 7000sq ft home. Amazingly 0ne floor down the signal is still very strong. Both my 850R and S are on the 3rd floor because the "central" room, where ONT and RGW are, is located the farthest possible from where coverage is most needed. There are some dangerously low zones on the first floor that make me think I need an additional satellite.
Thank you
