As FURRYe38​ pointed out, Netgear Orbi systems have a WiFi connection between router and satellites, which is enabled even when the satellites are connected to the router with Ethernet.  On the Forum this connection is called the "backhaul".

In the WiFi5 and WiFi6 Orbis, this WiFi channel was named (SSID) NETGEAR_ORBI_hiddenxx where xx is a random two digit number designed to reduce the possibility that two customers living next to each other would deploy Orbi systems with the same WiFi connection name.  In the WiFi5 and WiFi6 models, this SSID was not broadcast, so user devices would not display it.  (WiFi 'scanner' apps would detect the signal, but had no SSID to display.)

With the WiFi7 models, someone decided to change things:

• The backhaul connection is now named NTGRBH_XXXXX (obviously "Netgear Back Haul" plus a random number), and
• The SSID is broadcast so this WiFi channel appears on user devices and people try to connect their devices to it. (and cannot because the password is a VERY long string of random characters)

How does this weird request appear?  (the device is already connected to WiFi, correct?)

More detail would help people attempt to address these concerns.
