RAX50 created wifi 3rd network "TV.b," ??
My RAX50/AX5400 recently did some sort of update or just restarted on its own. Current fFirmware Version V1.0.12.120_2.0.83
Whatever it did caused my 5G network to not be disappear on wifi devices. I also now have a 3rd network showing up with 'TV.b,' at the end of the network name. I did a reset to default settings and fixed the 5G issue, but that TV.b, network is still showing available in the detected wifi networks on my phone and I have no idea where it came from. It will connect with "internet not available".
It looks like this example - Netgear RAX50 TV.b,
Internet not available
As stated, my 2.4 and 5 networks are available and work fine.
My router knowledge is pretty limited, but I have managed to get by with the basics. Any help is appreciated.

Is it still there of you turn off the router?
I've seen several "smart devices" that create their own wifi network for setting them up.
any of your devices not setup and connected to the router? I've seen them mimic the name of the router with a slight change if they'd already been setup

That's why I asked what happens when the router isn't on.
