Alas, it turns out that when experimenting to see which "smart switches" would connect to Orbi, I purchased an Anker Eufy T1202 Smart Plug Mini. Even though it was connected to Orbi and working fine, the little bugger was still broadcasting an SSID, including the GB country code. As Pogo said, "We have met the enemy and they is us." My next step is to dig out all the smart plugs I experimented with and see if they do something similar.
