Orbi won't keep new name I give it

Hi. I have the RBK44 Orbi. Using the app I changed the names of the sattelites so I could tell which was which. I save the new name and go back to the home page and the new name is there but in a few seconds it changes back to the default name. Any idea why and how to fix this?

    Why do you need to do this?

     

    Isn't the idea of the Orbi technology that you have the same SSID throughout? Mine does.

      I believe he wants to change the name of the satellites that appear on the mobile App is all.

        OK. So not the SSIDs?

         

        But which app? Orbi? Netgear? Nighthawk?
