MyQ Garage Door Wi-Fi LED Amber Slow: How to Fix It

Q: Why is my MyQ LED blinking amber slow?

An amber slow blinking LED indicates your MyQ device is in Wi-Fi setup mode and ready to be configured. This happens during initial setup or after a factory reset.

Q: What if my MyQ won't connect to Wi-Fi during setup?

Ensure you're using a 2.4GHz network, check your Wi-Fi password is correct, and verify the signal strength is adequate in your garage. Move your router closer or add a Wi-Fi extender if needed.

Q: How do I put my MyQ in setup mode manually?

Press and hold the learn button on your garage door opener for 6 seconds until the LED shows amber slow blinking. This puts the device in Wi-Fi setup mode.

Q: Can I use 5GHz Wi-Fi with MyQ?

No, MyQ devices only support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks. Make sure to connect to your 2.4GHz network during setup, not the 5GHz band.

Abstract

When your MyQ garage door opener shows an amber slow blinking LED, it means the device is in Wi-Fi setup mode and ready to be added to your network. This is normal behavior when setting up a new device or after a factory reset.
