Mesh with 3 satellites appears as 3 APs. #361

Describe the bug Was looking at my local channel usage and realized my 3 Netgear MR60s (mesh router kit) are appearing like 3 separate networks (APs). Makes the channel usage graph look worse than it truly is (or maybe I don't understand all the details there...seems like 3 separate coordinated sources could overlap usage without issue and have the same interference potential as 1 high power AP).

To Reproduce Scan when have all 3 devices included with Negear MR60 kit are enabled/live. Will see 3 devices using whatever channels they're set to (one setting for 2.4, and one for 5GHz appear on my device...router is wifi6 capable though, I believe, and phone isn't).

Expected behavior I can't set each of the 3 devices to separate channels, so I'd assume these should appear like 1 AP in your app.
