Satellite Wifi Name on Orbi RBK12

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Purchased an Orbi RBK12 Router and one satellite kit. Router setup fine but synch to satellite was painfully difficult even when I moved the  satellite in the same room. Finnaly after an hour of synching and synching I finally got the Sattelite to show in the Orbi Dashboard Interface and got a Blue light on the Sattelite.

Now I have moved the Sattelite in another room.

My question is- do I connect some of the farther devices to the Sattelite or to the Primary Orbi...I do not see a wifi network that says Orbi Satellite? Does that mean it's still not properly configured-what name would the Sattelite show up as when searching for wifi?

 

thanks
