Separate SSID for MK83 (MR80 + two MS80 satellites)

In my new MK83 package I set up a main SSID (which I'll call SSID_MAIN) and two customized SSIDs, one for each of the two bands (SSID_24 & SSID_50).

My problem is that (when accessing the satellite setups via my web browser) it appears that my two MS-80 satellites are only extending the SSID_MAIN network. When I attempt to enter separate SSID names on the respective setup pages, it reverts to SSID_MAIN after applying the settings.

My goal is to have a strong 2.4GHz channel throughout my house because my smart-devices (light bulbs, smart plugs, printers) are finicky about using the 5.0 Ghz band.

Any advice would be appreciated!
