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?

Visible? Visible to what or who?
SSID broadcast
The guest wifi has a radio box to enable SSID broadcast, butprimary WiFi does not.
(Often this setting is called "make visible", and I was going to memory)

Is the 2.4 and 5G SSID Broadcast check boxes checked and enabled under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings?
They should be by default. If they are and you don't see your SSID name on any device, factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch with a wired PC. Before you start the setup wizard, look on your devices for the Orbi## SSID name, it should be seen here. If its seen, start the setup wizard and complete it. I recommend giving a new custom SSID name and PW. The name should be intuitive and or fun.
