After a few minutes, the fiber jack came live in blue, thereafter I installed the iOS app that walked me effortlessly through setup, the firmware automatically updated both the router and the connected satellites, and voila I am connected. Further, I renamed my SSID/PW and now the mesh is on. I shall observe how the mesh behaves in the next week and will post anything interesting, I may observe. Thanks to the Netgear app so well written that anyone without any prior knowledge will feel empowered.

Sorry, but this not an acceptable answer. Since the router does not allow unique SSIDs for each band, there needs to be a way to "block" the device from connecting to an inferior 2.4 channel when I am running WiFi 6 with 1Gbps down. In this case, its for an XBOX and 40 to 60 Mbps is not going to cut it. Please provide a way to do this or provide customers the ability to define separate SSIDs.
