Did this Orbi replace a previous WiFi system that used the same SSID?
Did that system have exactly the same password?

Thank you so much for reaching out. No, this was the same router, I did a factory reset (no other devices broadcasting the old WiFi - I even hard reset the satellites).

Thanks again.
