Preset Wifi ssid

Hi all, I've sucessfully setup my system and set my own ssid. Seems to work fine.W hen I look at all available wifi networks I see my new ssid and I still see the preset one (in my case orbi06). How do I fully disable the preset one?

    What FW is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

    After setting up the Orbi and satelite(s) the default SSID should disappear. 

     

    You sure you have everything setup and it's not a neighboring Orbi wifi? 

    Power OFF the system for 1 minute, then turn on the router and check the SSID. Then power on a Satellite and check the SSID.
