SSID absent from the setup network list

Applies to

App: myQ iOS/Android; menu labels vary by release
Hardware: Built-in Wi-Fi openers and separate garage hubs requiring 2.4 GHz

Before you start

Authorized account/device owner; safe physical access.
Record the model and displayed LED or error before changing anything.

Why this can happen

Hidden SSID
2.4 GHz unavailable or combined-band setup issue

Work through these checks

Check 1
Check whether the home network appears in phone Wi-Fi settings.
What you should see
SSID is visible.
Your next branch
If hidden, ask its administrator to enable broadcasting.
Check 2
Confirm 2.4 GHz is enabled; one combined network name does not prove it is absent.
What you should see
Compatible band is available.
Your next branch
For persistent mesh setup trouble, follow the router maker’s temporary band-separation instructions.
Check 3
Retry device setup near the device.
What you should see
Network can be selected.
Your next branch
Restore temporary router changes after successful setup where appropriate.

When to stop

Do not assume cameras share these band requirements. Ask the router manufacturer if band controls are unavailable.
