I am the owner of Orbi WiFi 7 RBE971 and RBE970 devices. After update to Firmware version 9.11.1.1_1.2.2 I now see the advertisement for backhaul SSID NTGRBH_941865DD32049. Furthermore, my Apple mobile devices keep asking me to connect to this backhaul network, which is annoying.
I would like to make a feature request to implement on/off switch for backhaul SSID advertisement. I am of the opinion it's better to hide this SSID by default. Thank you.

That is a known issue and eventually, we hope, that NG will re-hide that SSID. Normally it would be hidden however during development, HG has made it visible for unknown reasons. It should be locked and not accessible by any device. Just avoid it.
