Orbi Satellite set up its own SSID

Multiple hard resets (with a paper clip) and multiple satellite moves and it's fixed. The two extra networks are gone and devices are attaching to both satellites.

RBR40: V2.3.4.30.
RBW30-Sat 1: V2.3.0.4.
RBW30-Sat 2: V2.3.5.6
RBW 1 is behind on FW. You can manually download FW and update it.

Update Firmware should be on the satellite web home page.
Yes, it is truly bizzare that Netgear engineers used a different file extension for some products.
