Hayward OmniLogic HLWLAN not connecting to Orbi RBR50 Network
Have Orbi RBR50 with 2 Satellites. Installed Hayward OmniLogic with HLWLAN bridge. Unable to establish connection the bridge with Orbi network. HLWLAN sees network and able to enter pw but OmniLogic ...

SOLVED. So I set up the network to connect to an AirPort Extreme as an AP on the Orbi network and set it for 2.4 MHz only. But I think the main part of the solution was that Hayward sent me a new HLWLAN unit and it connected. The error message about the antenna not connecting was the bridge itself. So if your getting a connection error message about the antenna your HLWLAN is bad. But during this process I heard that the HLWLAN doesn't like the Orbi network. Hope this helps you.

Maybe it's not the connection to the Orbi because when the Omnilogic searches for a SSID it finds it, when I enter the password and hit enter door the Omnilogic to configure the WiFi connection it runs for about 4 minutes and comes back with the error message "Ext antenna not connected" even though it is. If it wasn't connected how could the bridge see the network initially before the Omnilogic tried to configure the network?
