TESTING YOUR WI-FI SIGNAL STRENGTH

Your Garage Door’s Wi-Fi signal strength may be tested from your mobile device

  • Grab your SmartPhone, tablet or laptop
  • Go to ‘Settings’
  • Within ‘Settings’ go to ‘Wi-Fi’ or ‘Cellular’
  • Select the Network whose name begins in ‘MyQ-’
  • Using the picture to the right as reference, locate the wifi signal on your mobile device. This should be in the top Left corner, to the right of you Carrier’s name (ex. Verizon, At&T, etc)
  • If 2 or 3 of the 3 curved bars are dark, your Wi-Fi signal is strong and will connect
  • If 1 of the 3 curved bars is dark, your Wi-Fi signal is weak and may not connect. You should refer to the options below to improve the Wi-Fi signal.
  • If none of the 3 curved bars are dark, there is no Wi-Fi signal. It will not connect. You should refer to the options below to improve the Wi-Fi signal.

IMPROVING YOUR WI-FI SIGNAL STRENGTH

Possible reasons your Wi-Fi signal strength is low…

  • Your Router’s Transmitter has low strength
  • Large items or walls are blocking the connection
  • Home appliances are interfering with the connection

**How to strengthen the Wi-Fi signal

  • Try to move the router to a room nearest the garage
  • Move the router to the second story (if you have one) or higher on a shelf or cabinet
  • Move the router away from metal objects (pipes, appliances, etc)
  • Place the router out in the open, not within a cabinet

*The router should be no more than 150 feet away from the Garage Door Opener
