Unable to connect Chamberlain garage door opener via 5g internet
Working through multi vendor solution to enable MyQ app to successfully connect to Tmobile home internet. After long trouble shooting with Tmobile and Chamberlain, determined port 8883 is closed and...
Just a follow-up to my previous post..
It looks like the Garage door opener can make a connection (to the outside world) via a WIRED connection on the T-Mobile gateway but not via the Wi-Fi put out by that gateway.
I say this because I can (ethernet) wire an access point to the T-M gateway, use a different SSID for the access point - and the opener connects fine through this access point.
(NOTE: I used a NetGear Range Extender/Access Point configured as an access point).
Not a good long term solution, IMO - requires yet another device and a complicated set up. T-Mobile needs to fix this issue with its gateway-WiFi. Other service providers do not have this issue. I may move to Verizon home internet soon.
