Orbi Satellite shows as Living Room Speaker.o
Connected Orbi Satellite to the router on intial setup. Once connected now I see Orbi Satellite showing up as "Living Room Speaker.o" in WiFI and it's "Open". I tried the following steps. "
Turn off the satellite.
Log in to the router and view the list of connected devices.
Wait for the router to recognize that the satellite is gone and "Remove" it.
Power up the satellite.
Reset it.
Sync the satellite with the router."
The firmware has been updated as well.
Once connected it stll appears as "Living Room Speaker.o" and is "Open"
Any assistance anyone can provide is grealt appreciated.
Do you have a wireless speaker system? If so, turn it off and reset the RBS and remove it from the RBRs web page. Then resync it.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-routerTry a factory reset on the RBR then setup from scratch.
My Router Firmware Version: V2.3.5.30
I just did a full reset of the RBR and this time it recognized the Satellite seemlesly but it's still brodcasting "Living Room speaker.o" "No internet / Open". I just tried to re-sync the satellite and still the same result. I made sure to "forget" the Wi-Fi just to be sure it wasn't cached. Still the same issue.
