Orbi wifi not visible
My primary WiFi is working - multiple devices are connected to it, but it's not visible, and there's no settings to make it visible. What gives?

It would be helpful to know how you administer the Orbi system. The Orbi "app" has no settings to change whether the WiFi network SSID is being broadcast. The Orbi web interface, on the other hand, has a provision to have the Orbi "Broadcast" or "not broadcast" the SSID on both the 2.4G and the 5G WiFi channels.
This is on the Advanced Tab, Advanced Settings, Wireless Settings.
