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?
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.
