SSID not being broadcast from all Nodes on BT10s?

New Around Here
I have two BT10s - one is upstairs in the office and the other in the living room. Running wired backhaul and the latest 3.0.0.6.102_39106 firmware.
I have the 'main' network set up OK and have added a second IoT one for all smart plugs etc. I've struggled badly with the IoT devices failing to connect/disconnecting and initially thought it was because the SSID was hidden. I've unhidden it and have started to look a bit deeper.
I can now see that every device on IoT SSID is connecting to the upstairs node, in the office - even the many devices that are in the living room. Scanning for the IoT SSID from a laptop is only 1-2 bars and very weak.
I have both nodes ticked in the SSID AiMesh tab. I deselected it from broadcasting from the office SSID and every device disconnected and didn't reconnect. Ticking it again and they reconnected. I've unticked, restarted and re-ticked the living room node in the AiMesh tab but it hasn't forced anything.
I've installed an App on my phone and wandered around between the nodes with the main SSID connected and the IoT one afterwards. I can see the phone changing nodes when moving and connected to the main SSID - but it doesn't happen when connected to the IoT one.
Any idea why the second node isn't broadcasting both SSIDs?
