Technicolor CGM4981 and Orbi RB20 and satellites...

 For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get into the Technicolor CGM4981 router to change the SSID and maybe put this thing into "Bridged" mode to allow me to use my Orbi mesh system.  Either ...

Update...  Got into the router but I cannot see a way to change the SSID, still looking but not very intuitive.

Ok, found that now.  lol.  Maybe I should have waited a little longer before posting this question.  I just need to figure out how to set up the Orbi RB20 now.  Should I shut down wifi on the Cox router and use the Orbi RB20 or just the satellites as extenders?

Easy way out is to change the SSID to match what I had previously and call it a day.  Best solution may be to run the Orbi in AP mode?
