MyQ (Chamberlain) garage door and Gateway 5G router not compatible
Is there a work-around to make the two devices compatible?
There is another thread around here regarding this issue (Im too lazy to find it for you). But t.he recommendation seems to be to add a WiFi extender and connect the Chamberlain to that
You could try setting up your Orbi extenders as you had them before. I'm not too familiar with them, but I assume one part connects via ethernet cable to the gateway.
Here are more detailed instructions for adding a second network to your Gateway. (Not using Orbi). These instructions are for the T-Mobile Internet app, but are about the same on the T Life app.
You can have several Wi-Fi networks on the gateway. You want to leave the default network alone (2.4 & 5 GHz; WPA2/WPA3 security) and add a second, dedicated 2.4 GHz network.
Add the second network with the + sign at the bottom of the Network tab in the T-Mobile Internet app on your phone. For this new network, set the band to 2.4 GHz and set the WPA version to WPA/WPA2. Try connecting your MyQ, etc. to this second network. Use the original default network for your other devices, as much as possible.
Here are the T-Mobile support instructions for how to add the second network with the Home Internet app.
