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.

Nothing worked so far. However spoke to my supplier (pool supplies 4 less - btw...great customer serviceđ), they spoke to their Hayward rep and explained all I did and that the 'No antenna connected' error message still was coming up. The Hayward rep. is sending me a replacement HLWLAN, as it sounds like it might be a defective antenna on the bridge. The rep did say the HLWLAN bridge doesn't work with the Orbi, but when I explained I connected an AirPort Extreme and made it a 2.4mhz network and it still didn't configure he said it might be the bridge itself. Will let you know if this fixes issue when I get it replaced.
