INTERNET REQUIREMENTS
When selecting a router, use the information below to ensure compatibility.
The operator can be connected to a router via a wired connection or Wi-Fi. LiftMaster recommends an Internet speed
of 5Mbps download speed, 5Mbps upload speed.
Operator is compatible with routers using the following Wi-Fi communication protocols:
• 802.11b
• 802.11g
• 802.11n
ADDITIONAL COMPATIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS
• Don’t use Wi-Fi extender devices. These may introduce latency in the connection leading to a choppy connection.
• If using a Wi-Fi signal strength tool or app, you must ensure a continuous Wi-Fi signal strength connection of
at least -65 DBM (numbers closer to zero indicate a stronger signal strength) at the operator location for an
acceptable connection to the local network.
• Hidden network SSID’s are not supported. The network must be selectable from the operator display.
• Wi-Fi networks requiring secondary authentication are not supported, e.g., hotels and airport Wi-Fi.
• When checking signal strength in operator network conguration mode, we recommend at least two bars, as
shown on the operator LCD screen.
• If two bars are not available, relocate the router, or move the operator antenna higher up or to a location resulting
in two or more bars.
