People don’t miss this super easy video that even CHAMBERLAIN would not have known how to do though they made it. God bless you Derrick! Thank you so much for making and sharing this video. You saved all of us and deserve an applause 👏
Running myself crazy trying to figure this out! Although I have a Liftmaster, you covered the basic steps necessary to sync with a new router. Your video was MOST helpful. Thank you for posting!
I feel like I tried EVERY troubleshooting step from Chamberlain, including the full factory reset, and yet my app STILL wouldn't ever connect to it! This tutorial made it quick and easy. Thanks so much for covering this!
Useless instructions and other youtube videos which say press buttons... Did that for hours and it never worked. Derrick You're the best thank you!! It works now !!!
After changing my router, i spent over an hour trying to get MYQ working using Chamberlain's instructions for my Liftmaster. Your instructions worked the first time! Thanks for the advice, Derrick!
Worked for me after about hundred attempts following their instructions. You should go to Chamberlain and teach them how to program their equipment because they’re obviously clueless.
Wow! Been tearing my hair out ever since the new router. 1 of 3 openers connected via the app...Chamberlain was just teasing me...the other 2 never linked up. Did your procedure, then redid it with the app and the openers linked right up! Thanks so much for posting this!!
Hi Derrick, you are a rockstar! Thank you so much - worked on this for 2 hours until I found your simple, easy to understand video. Never would have been able to fix this without you. Chamberlain needs to HIRE you! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Bought used chamberlain an was struggling for 6 days to connect to Internet, even thought motherboard was faulty and was about to order new one 😂 Finally found this video You saved my $ in my crisis Thank you 🙏🏻 Fi
Thanks for the Help, I wasted about 4 hours following the directions on the app and website and nothing worked, what you described in the video was no where to be found on either! 4 hours following chamberlains instructions wasted when it took less than 5 minutes with your instructions. Thank you so much!
Dude, you are the man 🙏🙌. Like you said at the beginning, they say just push a few buttons and it's easy peasy, nothing worked except for this method, thank you brother
Thank Derrick! I needed to change the name of my wireless router as well. I followed your instructions but that did not work. I ended up deleting the wireless settings and then reconnecting by unplugging the unit, pressing the yellow button 3 times, I heard the beep and then I it found my new wireless router name. BUT it was your video that lead me to this solution. Thanks again for your videos!
Thank you! You helped me fix what the chamberlain web page couldn't! You are the best. I wasted SEVERAL hours before i found your video and you helped me clear it up in like 10 minutes.
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! Thank you....the MyQ App is one of the stupidest apps I have seen in years. I could not get the dam thing to work in any way and following your instructions worked the first time and took about 2 minutes. THANK YOU !!!!!!
If helps anyone, I just have Wi-Fi at the opener, not the panel/button. To change the Wi-Fi there, remove the light cover, press the (yellow/might be different than yours) button three times to hear a beep. Then follow these instructions. Couldn't get the change Wi-Fi to work so I chose erase first, then selected the Wi-Fi and added the password. If all else fails, unplug the opener -- wait a bit -- then plug it back and and start over. Thanks for this guide!!!
Chamberlain Group should be paying this guy! The instructions provided online, in the MyQ app and in the paper documentation provided with my garage door opener are complete garbage. This video solved days of issues in just a few minutes.
Derek, you got it correct. Chamberlains instructions DO NOT WORK. I spent an unproductive hour trying numerous times to change my wifi settings. Nothing worked. Some on the net and found myqdevice.com and finally I got reconnected to my home network. I sent a note to Chamberlain to change their instructions. I would like my hour back...Anyway you did a great video!
Thanks for the comment when I did this video I didn’t realize how much of a problem it actually was until everybody like you started leaving comments to say they never would’ve figured it out
Holy mackerel! What a life saver! I bought a new router and messed with the factory wifi reset process for about an hour before giving up. By chance I happend across this video. Totally solved the problem and there is absolutely NOTHING from Chamberlain on this process. Thank you to the Hindsight team for this great video. I'll be coming here first when I get into trouble.
Thanks so much for this! After a frustrating week, I never even thought to look at the wall unit considering the worthless MyQ app never mentions anything about it. FINALLY fixed it.
Brilliant! Thank you! It did not work at first but once I turned off Privacy Relay on my iPhone it worked perfectly! Very helpful and straight to the point.
Thank you, Derrick. I changed my wifi service and the MyQ app had me running around in circles until I clicked on your youtube channel. It worked perfectly the first time. I even got the elusive "3 beeps!" It's disgraceful that Chamberlain/Liftmaster won't publish proper directions for a normal homeowner to follow. This isn't rocket science, but bad directions sends the homeowner on a wild goose chase and the frustration that ensues. Again....Thank You!
This was perfect information! I tried to use the app to change the wifi password over and over and it failed every time. I tried the method described in the video and it worked perfectly on the first try. Thanks!!!
You sir, are a genius! Thank you for this video. Chamberlain's website doesn't mention anything about this. This is the only thing that worked. Thanks again man.
Thank you! Your video should be added to the Chamberlain help site and replace all the rubbish they have there on how to do this. You rock man! -Greetings from Toronto.
your garage door is probably not broadcasting a signal. try turning on the garage wifi again. also remember you have a time limit before the wifi on the opener shuts off
Press and hold the black adjustment button on the garage door opener until 3 beeps are heard. There is an initial beep, continue to hold the button approximately 6 seconds, during this time the up arrow will be flashing. Wait a few seconds for the LED light to turn off. Wi-Fi settings are clear.
Thank you thank you thank you! Just bought a house that has one of these and could not figure it out. I had been messing with it for days! I actually jumped for joy when this worked!
OMGOSHH. I wasted 3 hours waiting for chamberlain customer service and hung up. The MyQ app is a total pos! Thank goodness i found your video, thank you very much!!!
Fantastic. Not sure if my garage door opener is failing or the circuit board but recently my MyQ was disconnecting from my WI-Ffi and then hours later would reconnect. I went on the device and reset things and tried doing it thru the mobile app on my iPhone. WOuld keep beeping but never connect. Eventually gave up and assumed I would have to call to get it fixed. Did the setup like in the video thru manual connecting to the MyQ WI-Fi and going to the setup website which I knew nothing about. Worked like a charm. Now to see if it sticks.
O-M-G! @Hindsight 101 You are THE best! I had already wasted at least 45 minutes trying & re-trying to get the process to work within MyQ app then Googled for answers. You came right up & within 2 minutes I was all set up again. Thank You So Much! Time to buy you a tasty beverage. Post your PayPal & I'll treat!
thank you for the assistance . Here what worked for me after i got to the change wifi settings. I erased my wifi setting and started over. it made life so much easier and i was able to connect my my-Q app. Thanks again, i spent about 1 1/2 hours trying to set it up through the chamberlain website, it got me nowhere. 5 min into your video gave me a way better understanding.
Thank you. Your video was the most helpful on this topic. I have a Chamberlain . To change the wifi settings, I had to erase the existing wifi connection. Only then it allowed me to add the new wifi network.
Thank you, was getting very frustrated following the MyQ instructions. After many failed attempts, finally found this video and it worked perfectly as you said.
I got to tell you that you the man. I had gotton an email telling me they hacked my wifi and even told me my password. Wow. I changed the password and then the fun started. Direct tv, Rouku, Firestick, my car and then the garage door opener. I spent hours on the thing. Could not get it to work. Took your advise and bingo fixed. Thanks so Much.
Wow. I struggled with this for quite some time, then just gave up. After finding this video, I was able to reconnect to my wifi in about 5 minutes. I also don't have the digital screen wall remote, just one of the standard 3 button ones (open/close, learn, and light control. This wall unit doesn't beep 3 times, though, just once. Thanks so much for the awesome help! :-)
Thank you so much!! Can't improve on others’ comments re Chamberlain's bad instructions, but surely appreciate your taking the trouble to put this info out there, sir.
Thank you so much. Like so many, I wasted a lot of time following what Chamberlain had on its website and it did not work. I tried your way, it worked. In my case, I had to Erase my wifi setting first, or it would not detect my wifi network. Also, your tips about “no beep” is great. Without it, I would have probably kept clicking No Beep and would not get anywhere. Many thanks.
I have the same thing. Press and release the Learn button (wait for 3 beeps)> go to Wifi settings on your phone>then follow his instructions. It's just a series of steps but SO VERY confusing if you don't know what to do.
Finally was able to connect with your instructions. Yay! Only problem is when I open the Q app, it doesn't show the garage door opener there, but when I checked my router, it is connected. Just need to get it to the app.
@@Hindsight101 It doesn't find it. It wants to take me through device set up again in the app. I've uninstalled the app and reinstalled and nothing. When I did try and enter the serial number through the web site, I got error cod 310 (registered to another user). Chamberlains help menu tells you to clear that you must hit the learn button 3 times. Well, I tried that many times and didn't work and I get stuck in the same loop.
@@Hindsight101 Erased all of the WIFI settings a couple of times and I couldn't get it to work. I did a factory reset that would let me establish the serial number under my own account. Then I was able to follow your instructions to set it up and was able to add the serial number to my account with no problem. Also, a suggestion for Apple users, if your phone keeps disconnecting from the opener, disable Wi-FI Assist (Settings/Cellular/Scroll to the bottom and turn it off) when setting everything up. Thanks again for all of your help.
I was having a hard time connecting my Chamberlain garage door opener to my cell phone and I tried a lot of things. I called my routers tech support, they had me input the ports on my router, but that didn't work. Then I read some place on the internet to turn on your "Mac " filter. Once I did this everything worked.
Great instructions. Thank you. I was able to get the wall control to connect to my wifi network but can add the garage door opener to the MyQ app. Can anyone provide assistance? How do we add the opener to the app.. Thanks
@@Hindsight101 Thanks for the quick reply Derrick. I watch the video and it makes sense what you showed. The issue is that the MyQ app changed from what I see. The app does not allow me to add a device just based on the serial number. The MyQ app only allows you to add a device and walks you thru the wifi setup process from the beginning. I have a strong wifi signal but at the end of the device discovery, it fails. I just moved and the old house had Liftmaster MyQ devices that I used without a problem. The new house has a chamberlain garage door opener.
My garage door opener has the doorbell looking wall unit without any buttons on the side. Can you tell me how to get things back to working since I change my Internet Service Provider ?
So if I want to leave the wifi signal off and ensure there's no wireless output, I just don't turn the wifi on, correct? Our garage door opener is under our kid's bedroom, and I don't want it to put out a signal.
So I don't need to change or do anything on the actual opener product that is mounted on the roof top of the garage after I change the internet provider?
There is a rather obscure problem with Google Wifi hardware not to mention their cell phones. You see all my wifi devices like BBQ thermometer, Thermostat for house heating and cooling, front and back yard sprinkler units you get the idea works off of 2 GHz frequency. When attempting to find the devices mentioned they don't show up. Well, it is starting to look like a lot of the newer devices are still coming out with a 2GHz wifi connection, only. Many have said turn off 5GHz and then your 2GHz will show up but no ones thinks I need 5GHz band(cause I do)? So confusing and to add to this dilemma most of the garage door openers I have checked out don't call out which Wifi frequency they operate at. Thoughts.
This is the 2nd time I’ve had to do this due to network changes, but this time it doesn’t seem to work 😢 I did… 1-factory reset gate opener 2-connect to MyQ network successfully (although the entry says “no internet connection”) 3- can’t reach the setup.myqdevice page Any ideas?
This might help See notes below, credit goes to another commenter Elisa at Signet: Press and release the Learn button (wait for 3 beeps)> go to Wifi settings on your phone>then follow his instructions. It's just a series of steps but SO VERY confusing if you don't know what to do.
Looking for help in shutting off the wi-fi signal in the Liftmaster 8550W garage door opener. For medical reasons we need to limit all wi-fi signals entering the house. Unfortunately the garage is located adjacent to our son's bedroom and the family room. I am reluctant to start cutting wires. Thank you for any assistance.
The wifi only stays on for about 5 mins. You can check it with a cell phone or tablet and look for the lift master wifi. If you want to disconnect it from your home wifi just follow the steps in the video but select erase wifi
@@Hindsight101 Thank you for the quick reply! The garage door opener appears as a wifi device on my iPhone which led me to believe that it was always producing wifi signals. Good news if it stops after a certain point. I will try the erase wifi feature as you suggest. Hopefully that will eliminate any wifi signal. Thank you very much!
I too have to Learn button instead. After pressing the learn button, I hear no beep. I proceeded to unplug the power plug and plug it back on, and did all sorts of other instructions (pressing yellow button 3 times; pressing the black button, etc...) I could find online or the myQ app, still to no avail.... very confusing. All I wanted was to reset my wifi setting. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I have already spent a lot of time on this thing....Can't believe Chamberlain is so misleading or disappointing about this process.

Hi Derrick, I came across your while struggling to fix the update of WiFi on my Chamberlain. Like someone commented you deserve an award by CHAMBERLAIN for this tip. You are GOD to me at this moment 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Thank you so much very for this video. May god shower with his kindness & blessings!!! I have recorded this video and saved so to use in future just in case. Could you please make a video of fixing/updating WiFi for HUNTER Hydrawise irrigation system.
Thank you for the kind words, glad i could help. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with HUNTER Hydrawise irrigation system, but I did some googling and it looked simple enough. Is there a particular issue you are having I might be able to help?
@@Hindsight101 Yes, the WiFi and Bluetooth stopped all of a sudden when I had a power outage. I tried several times and followed all steps essential but it won’t connect. I don’t know how to operate the settings manually. Wondering if when the power was backup, it did something to irrigation system that WiFi was affected.
UPDATE: if the link in the video doesn't work try this one setup.myqdevice.com/config.html

If your garage opener can't find any wifi connections , try erasing your wifi settings first.

New router, that's 2 hrs of my life I'll never get back until watching this vid... does Chamberlain really know how their stuff works.?
Sometimes I ask myself the same question. Thanks for the comment
Simple and easy to troubleshoot, helped save time scratching head. Chamberlain should include it as a part of their wifi setup video.
Hopefully they will one day. Thanks for the comment.

I called my routers tech support, they had me input the ports on my router, but that didn't work. Then I read some place on the internet to turn on your "Mac " filter. Once I did this everything worked.
thanks
Good morning, I have a question about the chamberlain team, the door cannot be opened via the app from anywhere!
Nice video! It worked perfectly. Thanks for being straight foreword
and to the point without a bunch of fluff.
thank you I try to keep the fluff out but sometimes I forgot lol
Great instructions. Thank you. I was able to get the wall control to connect to my wifi network but can add the garage door opener to the MyQ app. Can anyone provide assistance? How do we add the opener to the app.. Thanks
Check out this video it should help ua-cam.com/video/14C1-ApeFDQ/v-deo.html
@@Hindsight101 Thanks for the quick reply Derrick. I watch the video and it makes sense what you showed. The issue is that the MyQ app changed from what I see. The app does not allow me to add a device just based on the serial number. The MyQ app only allows you to add a device and walks you thru the wifi setup process from the beginning. I have a strong wifi signal but at the end of the device discovery, it fails. I just moved and the old house had Liftmaster MyQ devices that I used without a problem. The new house has a chamberlain garage door opener.
Sorry without seeing what you are talking about its hard to say what the problem is
Spot on! TYVM! You kept my frustration level from reaching the boiling point.
Glad I could help!
Thank you very much. this video just saved me a lot of headache
Happy to help
My garage door opener has the doorbell looking wall unit without any buttons on the side. Can you tell me how to get things back to working since I change my Internet Service Provider ?
I believe you would have to press a button on the actual garage door open
Ditto to what Elisa said. THANK YOU THANK YOU
You are welcome
Thank you. This was so easy. Waisted so many times following myq steps.
So happy the video helped
Goofs!!! Why can't Chamberlain put this on their website! Thanks you helped a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no problem
So if I want to leave the wifi signal off and ensure there's no wireless output, I just don't turn the wifi on, correct? Our garage door opener is under our kid's bedroom, and I don't want it to put out a signal.
Correct
Great stuff, I was in an endless loop until I saw your video. Thanks
No problem you are welcome
I wish I saw this video about 5 hours ago. Ridiculously easy if you know ow
At least you got it fixed
So I don't need to change or do anything on the actual opener product that is mounted on the roof top of the garage after I change the internet provider?
nope
Thank you so much! I never would have gotten it to work. Great job.
Your welcome
I was able to get connected to the network, but I can't seem to get the device linked to my myQ account/app. Thoughts?
try this link instead and let me know if it works setup.myqdevice.com/config.html
thanks for posting! your video was most HELPFUL...
You are welcome
There is a rather obscure problem with Google Wifi hardware not to mention their cell phones. You see all my wifi devices like BBQ thermometer, Thermostat for house heating and cooling, front and back yard sprinkler units you get the idea works off of 2 GHz frequency. When attempting to find the devices mentioned they don't show up. Well, it is starting to look like a lot of the newer devices are still coming out with a 2GHz wifi connection, only. Many have said turn off 5GHz and then your 2GHz will show up but no ones thinks I need 5GHz band(cause I do)? So confusing and to add to this dilemma most of the garage door openers I have checked out don't call out which Wifi frequency they operate at. Thoughts.
You are safe to assume they are all 2.4. There is little reason to have 5g for an opener
This is the 2nd time I’ve had to do this due to network changes, but this time it doesn’t seem to work 😢
I did…
1-factory reset gate opener
2-connect to MyQ network successfully (although the entry says “no internet connection”)
3- can’t reach the setup.myqdevice page
Any ideas?
That's correct it should say no internet. Try these links instead setup.myqdevice.com/config.html
or
myqdevice.com
Saved me a ton of time. Thank you.
You're welcome!
I am not able to open the web address after connecting to the My q wifi network .. it says does not have internet . Could somebody please help
Thanks for making this simple video, great instructions, got right to the point, bravo
Glad you enjoyed it!
I get into the wifi setup portion on the door opener, but it never says "on" any idea why?
What model garage door opener do you have
My wall remote looks exactly the same but there's no wifi setup option (and it says wifi on the unit); any suggestions? Thanks!
This might help See notes below, credit goes to another commenter Elisa at Signet:
Press and release the Learn button (wait for 3 beeps)> go to Wifi settings on your phone>then follow his instructions. It's just a series of steps but SO VERY confusing if you don't know what to do.
Hindsight 101 thanks - that didn't seem to work either...
Looking for help in shutting off the wi-fi signal in the Liftmaster 8550W garage door opener. For medical reasons we need to limit all wi-fi signals entering the house. Unfortunately the garage is located adjacent to our son's bedroom and the family room. I am reluctant to start cutting wires. Thank you for any assistance.
The wifi only stays on for about 5 mins. You can check it with a cell phone or tablet and look for the lift master wifi. If you want to disconnect it from your home wifi just follow the steps in the video but select erase wifi
@@Hindsight101 Thank you for the quick reply! The garage door opener appears as a wifi device on my iPhone which led me to believe that it was always producing wifi signals. Good news if it stops after a certain point. I will try the erase wifi feature as you suggest. Hopefully that will eliminate any wifi signal. Thank you very much!
I too have to Learn button instead. After pressing the learn button, I hear no beep. I proceeded to unplug the power plug and plug it back on, and did all sorts of other instructions (pressing yellow button 3 times; pressing the black button, etc...) I could find online or the myQ app, still to no avail.... very confusing. All I wanted was to reset my wifi setting. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I have already spent a lot of time on this thing....Can't believe Chamberlain is so misleading or disappointing about this process.

Bruh only helpful video on the whole process ty
You're welcome happy to help
For some reason, I do not have the option “Wi-Fi Set Up,” after pressing program on my wall unit.
Do you have anything that looks similar?
@@Hindsight101 I have the option of programming MyQ Device, Remote, Accessory, keypad and light.
@@jayr9718 what happens when yuou try programming MyQ Device
Thank you for this video!! It's the ONE THING that worked.
Awesome
You are a life saver! Thank you so much!
You are welcome
Thank you. I got it right on the first try.
Welcome
Do you know if this switch needs to be connected to a 2.4ghz network? So ar every switch I'm finding only works with that.
Yes it needs to be 2.4g
@@Hindsight101 This is what I was afraid of. Are you well versed on the liftmaster internet gateway? I'm wondering if that will solve my issue.
Hi Derrick, I came across your while struggling to fix the update of WiFi on my Chamberlain. Like someone commented you deserve an award by CHAMBERLAIN for this tip. You are GOD to me at this moment 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Thank you so much very for this video. May god shower with his kindness & blessings!!! I have recorded this video and saved so to use in future just in case. Could you please make a video of fixing/updating WiFi for HUNTER Hydrawise irrigation system.
Thank you for the kind words, glad i could help. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with HUNTER Hydrawise irrigation system, but I did some googling and it looked simple enough. Is there a particular issue you are having I might be able to help?
@@Hindsight101 Yes, the WiFi and Bluetooth stopped all of a sudden when I had a power outage. I tried several times and followed all steps essential but it won’t connect. I don’t know how to operate the settings manually. Wondering if when the power was backup, it did something to irrigation system that WiFi was affected.
Send me an email if you would like so we can discuss in more detail. Derrick@hindsight101.com
much easier than pushing buttons on the opener unit
Agreed
This method works well. Thanks
Welcome 👍
SO frickin' helpful.... Thanks man
You're welcome
When I go to Program and then WiFi, I never get the “ON” option.
It might still be on. Try getting a cell phone or tablet and see if you see a Wi-Fi signal
Dude, thank you so much for making this video.
Glad I could help
This actually worked, thank you.
Glad it worked out thanks for watching
