Thank You for the answer to help be change ethernet name for my RBR50 wifi name.
Everything seems to work correctly now (just before me making any changes to my ethernet name). There was a update to Win 10 just before I was going to try the ethernet name change, and after the Win 10 update, everything seems to work correctly with no conflict.

I do appreciate the process for me to change the ethernet name for my RBR50 WIFI as I will make sure the name don't conflict too!!!!
I appreciate all the help you have shown me!!!!
Thank You!!!

For the Orbi system, log into the RBRs web page and under Basic tab/Wireless settings you can change the SSID name to anything you want. Set a new password here as well.
