Obi202 changing MAC address

Pity you did not mention the OBiWiFi earlier. Use that or ethernet, not both.

The brain dead Virgin router appears to default to using the entire range of available addresses for its DHCP pool. Most routers do not do that or let you set the range manually. For example, current BTHomeHubs use 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.253 for the pool. The router itself is on 192.168.1.254. So with default settings there are 63 addresses available outside the pool.

You cannot use a '1' instead of a '0' as the third number in the addresses. Read up on sub-nets if you want to know the details. Your router is only 'listening' for things with 192.168.0 as the start of their address.

But if you stick with only either WiFi or ethernet connection of the OBi you should be fine with DHCP on the OBi and a MAC address allocated IP of 192.168.0.254 for it set at the router.
