DNIWIFI
ORBI RBR50
firmware 2.2.1.10
OSMac
I have installed an RBR50 router with 4 internal satellites RBS50 (2 backhauled) and one external RBY50 and there is a sixth RBS50 that has configured its...
Many Thanks - really helpful....
I've tried to reboot but it eventually reappears - will have to do a full reset across the whole system to find the problem when I have spare time - I suspect its linked to the last satellite that set up itsown SSID and didn't link into the main router
Thanks again
The DNI config is the process of setting the user, country, network,.... etc specific parameters in Orbi.
If you see a DNIWIFI network (I've seen this recently in my router) then this simply means that the start process was not correctly completed in the Orbi Router.
A simple cure to this is to reboot the router.
You can read more about the DNI config process by printing the config file using telnet:
root@RBR50:/# cat /etc/dni-wifi-config

This Orbvi 50 system is frustrating as it is brilliant once you get it stabilised!
I've finally figured out the problem - which also creates other issues like Satellite 'Waiting for Connection'
Final solution was to do a full Reinstall of the Router RBR50 - you do NOT have to reinstall the satellites - just turn them all off - and follow following
Reset RBR50 Router with the pin in the reset socket until it flashes amber - I gave it 20 seconds as even that procedure can be temperamental.
Then reset just the router up with whatever passords you orgininally had (this may not matter but may help with the syncing)
then turn each satellite on in turn - resynch each one and give each about 10 minutes to stabilise
then goto Admin/Firmware update and see if they're all connected
Note on the first reboot of the router I got the DNIWIFI network up again so had to reset a second time
Everything is now stable with 6 datellites including the outdoor one :)
Be sure to save off a new backup config file for safe keeping. If you need to reset again, you can re-load the back up from file and be up and running sooner than later. :smileywink:

Great advice - wasn't awareof that feature - you have saved me a whole lot more grief for the next time I have to reinstall
Thank you
