SXK80 - Satellite synchronization issues

I'm having an issue where after I first changed the SSID and password for the SXR80 after restoring the factory, then it fails when setting up the Orbi satellites, but it succeeds when setting up the Orbi satellites when running the wizard just after restoring the factory settings.
Is it true that the default SSID and password must be used when setting up Orbi satellite for the first time?
Is it possible to change the SSID and password after setting up the Orbi satellite?

thanks

    Only system-wide, the config with the SSIDs and the admin password is sync'ed all over.

      Hello schumaku,

      I can actually normal my satellites synchronize the router settings properly, but I've never been able to add the SXS80 device in INSIGHT.

        Yes, these are the subtle differences on the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 system operations on Insight. It's not integrated as sleek as all the supported switches and WAX6xx. Do as advised please.
