2 minutes. I presume 1 minute would have worked as well.
Please post a screen capture of what your seeing...

Lol, you would think, but I've tried previously for 1 minute and also for 90 secs according to pdf documentation, neither seemed to work.
Also, doesnt seem to be doing it at the moment, but found a post on it. "What does "Connected via Orbi" mean in my wi-fi co... - NETGEAR Communities" https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/What-does-quot-Connected-via-Orbi-quot-mean-in-my-wi-fi/m-p/2080460
Although in that discussion, there seems to be confusion as to the error. Again, for clarification, main network shows up twice, but one says "connected via Orbi" under it when connected to it. At this time, I can't seem to reproduce it. Not sure if it's when connected to satellite or router.
Phone is S21 Ultra on VZW.

Got a screen capture of this?
Possible it's what the device IS seeing and how it's reporting it. Something the Mfr of the device maybe able to answer.

One connected to your phone, and one as an available connection. Depending on which one was connected, one says "connected via Orbi". It doesn't make sense. Guest network seems to be fine and only listed once like it should.
Also, as of writing this, I went to check to see if I could replicate, but found a whole new issue. Whenever I go into the Orbi app, I get the an error message. SS attached.
