Work through these checks
Check 1
Connect a phone to the intended Wi-Fi and test beside the device, not inside the house.
What you should seeStable signal and browsing observed.
Check 2
Move the router to a more open, elevated position closer to the garage when practical; avoid large metal obstacles.
What you should seeCoverage improves at the device.
Check 3
If using an existing extender or mesh node, place it between router and garage where its upstream signal is still strong.
What you should seeNode can relay a usable signal.
Check 4
Retry setup or observe whether the device remains online.
What you should seeStable app status returns.
When to stop
- A phone’s bars are a screening test, not proof of myQ connectivity. Seek network assistance if coverage cannot be stabilized.
