RBRE960 Wifi Disconnects/Disabled SSIDs Appeared

Hey all, RBRE960 base and two RBSE960 satellites running firmware V7.2.6.21_5.0.20.  Today I lost ethernet connectivity at one of the satellites, and now all of the disabled SSIDs keep appearing intermittently.  The IoT SSID and guest SSID, both of which are not enabled, show up for awhile then disappear again.  It's been running well for 6 months or so, now this.  Anyone seen anything similar?

 

Thanks.

How many RBS are deployed? 
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

What channel configurations are currently set on the router?  

 

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.

 

It's known that sometimes if the RBS become out of sync that the IoT and Guest Network will show for a few minutes or until the RBS get reconnected or re-synced. Normal operation you'll not see those SSIDs if you don't have them enabled.
