I guess you are trying the steps outlined in this post: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/How-to-disable-WiFi-on-the-Orbi-Router-or-Satellite/td-p/1677533 (read all the way through. there are corrections)
The credentials needed are still "admin" for the user ID and the administrative password. Interesting that your Orbi has a linux prompt of "#admin@", while my RBR50 shows a prompt of "root@".
I just typed the command on my Orbi and got my SSID. Did you type config get "w" lowercase L, underscore, "ssid"?
I 100% have it correct "config wl_ssid" as you have stated. I keep gettign the error "/bin/ash: config: not found." I have looked though that post and those commadns also deliver the same error.
Well now, this is just strange. Just to be onery, I logged in this time as "root" instead of "admin". TOOK IT! Here's proof:

What I get is "-ash: <command>: not found
It had NEVER occured to me that the RBR50 and RBR40 would have a different shell.
Wow!
Is there anything else 'different' about when you log in? For example, the first thing I see is this:
BusyBox v1.24.1 (2019-06-28 21:18:41 CST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.And, my prompt comes up as "root@RBR50#"
Like, even "help" doesn't work?
Wow, am I slow. CBR40, as in "built-in cable modem" Orbi. (The only model with one) And, you've probably had it more than 90 days, so Netgear support won't answer even a simple question.
