Before You Connect with Your Smartphone
Monitor and control your garage door from anywhere using the myQ
®
App. You will need a router with Wi-Fi and a
smartphone or other mobile device. Make sure your mobile device is connected to your Wi-Fi network. Hold your
mobile device in the place where your garage door opener will be installed and check the Wi-Fi signal strength.

The garage door opener will likely connect to your Wi-Fi
network. If not, try one of the options below.
No Wi-Fi signal. Try one of the following:
• Move your router closer to the garage door opener to
minimize interference from walls and other objects
• Buy a Wi-Fi range extender
• Buy an Internet Gateway (828LG) see page 41
