This is a true puzzler. I have two Orbi RBR50's (one for actual use and one for experiments [and my spare])
The production Orbi shows up on a Windows 10 desktop as "Network".
The test Orbi shows up on a Linovo laptop as the Orbi router name. (which happens in this case to be the same as the WiFi SSID).
What is the 'name' of your Orbi?
