You can always reset them as well if you'd like to ensure they're wiped.
They've got a reset button.

Yes, I've used the on device reset buttons on the satellites but noticed they were still showing on the admin page with the names I'd given them so assumed they hadn't been full factory reset.

How are you resetting the RBR? Reset button or ERASE button on the RBRs web page?

Ok, Are you pressing the reset button on the RBS prior to use the ERASE on the RBR? I Found that resetting the RBS first, then when the front starts to blink white, turn OFF the RBS. Then go to ERASE on the RBR. ALL should be gone from the RBR.
What browser are you using? I use MS edge mostly for initial set ups and ERASE.
