R7000 Firmware downgrade turns on Arlo and now can't turn it off

I was running 1.0.6.28 and was having issues.  Checked the community here and found that this FW had been pulled so I downgraded to 1.0.4.30.  Now, the 2.4Ghz band has both my SSID and the 

 NETGEAR52-arlo_246612 being transmitted on top of one another.  I can't find a setting to turn it off in the 1.0.4.30 firmware.  Should I use a beta version to solve this or is there some really simple thing I've overlooked? I see many are enjoying a stable 1.0.5 beta; can someone point me in the direction to obtain that version so that I can turn off the arlo?

 

thx

A factory reset should wipe it out.

Thanks for the answer without any additional commentary about my lack of brain cells. Worked perfectly.

They should not advertise R7000 as Arlo compatible if they then proceed to disable it with firmware updates.
