RBR40 - set up new SSID but original SSID still showing

I wondering if anyone else has seen this.  The default SSID on my orbi system is ORBI48.  I set up a new wireless network - Paisley and now both networks still show up.  When I do a channel scan, 3 2.4Ghz Paisley networks show up, 3 5 GHz Paisley, 1 2.4GHz Orbi48 and 1 5 GHz Orbi 48 and one blank.  It seems that the SSID reset on some of the satelittes/routers and not on others.

Are you setting up the satellite as well after you get the base set up? If no, this would be a reason why you might be seeing default SSIDs from the satellites. Once you add them, then the default SSID should not be seen.
