RBR850 - Random Satelites keep getting added to my network setup.

Hi, 

 

I have recently noticed that 2 random satelites keep appearing in my home network Orbi setupwith generic 'Orbi Satelite' names. Please see image attached. Every time I remove them, they seem to pop back in within a day or so. Has anyone seen this or know what might be causing it?

    Are there any other wifi neighbors near by that may have a Orbi system? 

     

    Try a full factory reset on the RBR and RBS and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser. Be sure to set up a new SSID name and PW. Don't use the default SSID name.
