Hi sry if I’ve not been clear in updates. When I turned everything off all the networks eventually disappeared

I factory reset the Orbi router and satellites . Deleted the app. Reinstalled and did a fresh set up of the Orbi kit using the default Orbi settings for ssid and password

What FW version is on the RBR and RBS?
I've not seen this with my 370 series. Odd.
Where did you pick up this 370 series?
So have you changed the main WLAN SSID name to something other than Orbi36 and the _5GEXT and _EXT still remain?
