I suspect you have another wireless router in your system. To determine, we need a little more info. What is the Orbi plugged into (specific make/model). What mode is Orbi in? (Router or AP?)
Orbi wifi6 AX4200 connected by ethernet cable to Netgear CM1100 modem. I renamed the SSID during initial setup of the router. When desktop is connected to the router by ethernet cable, it displays the original SSID network name that came with the router. All devices that connect wirelessly display the new network SSID name. There are no other wireless routers in the house - we disconnected the Xfinity gateway when we set up the new modem. When the desktop is connected wirelessly to the router, it does not show up to other devices.
