Thank you for your response.
The Orbit APP is intalled on Samsung Galaxy A50s

Hmmmmm. Still very strange. (I will need to dig in my "box of stuff".)
Wonder if the tenant has deployed a WiFi Extender with a different WiFi SSID, i.e.
- Extender connected to your system with WiFi
- Creating a different WiFi network
- Apple device connected to that network
I am 99.9% certain that I have done this in the past and every device connected to the WiFi Extender appeared correctly on the Orbi network, no matter what the Extender WiFi was named.
So far..... I got nothin.
