I had this same CDIL-API-FAIL problem on the same RBR750 router and 2 x RBS750 satellites system. Called tech support who bounced me around. 3rd person had me physically unplug the router for 20 seconds. I guess the 4.6.5.14 firmware update needs that to complete install.
Afterwards I was able to complete Parental control set-up on my iOS devices.

When I'm trying to access a profile and add/remove devices I'm getting the CDIL-API-FAIL error. I've reached out to NG but they want me to purchase paid support to do anything, even if I have a 1yr subscription active. This is absolutely gross and unheard of, but reading what others post on the forums is very common practice from NG.
Has anyone been able to find a solution for this CDIL-API-FAIL error?
RBR/RBS 750 Firmware: 4.5.6.14
iOS Orbi app: 2.13.0.79
Thanks,
