I just installed an RB750 with two RBS750 satellites
I just installed an ORBI RB750 with two RBS750 satellites. A third satellite named Xerox is showing up on the network map. It isn't enabled and has no connected devices. It says it is an RBS750 and even has a serial number but the MAC address is all all zeros and the IP address is all the same number.
Any ideas what is going on?

You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk). (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)
Many questions apply to different types of device, so there may be useful responses here, but Orbi systems are not like standard routers, so you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.What Firmware version is currently loaded on the RBR and RBS? Should all be the same.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Try a factory reset on the RBR and RBS and setup from scratch using a web browser.
