Orbi & Circle app - smart outlets and TV issues

Anyone have a solution for 1) Samsung TVs that re-enter the network under a new name several times a day? I would like to be able to shut off YouTube and other internet access using the same central controls - but it keeps resetting ; and/or
2) smart outlet - same thing. If I add it as unmanaged, will that just always leave it on?

I thought about putting the TVs and the outlet on the guest WiFi with a secret nonkid password - but that diminishes the value of a guest WiFi if I am always disabling it.
