Why is MyQ not connecting to Eero?

Now, no need to face trouble anymore if your MyQ is not connecting to Eero. Check out the following probable reasons before you delve into the paragraphs of solutions:

1. Weak signals issue

Possibly, MyQ ecosystem garage door technology is not getting signals from the Eero router. This can happen when the Eero router is placed far away from the MyQ garage door opener.

In this case, the walls and microwave can obstruct the Eero router signals to MyQ, and consequently, your MyQ will not be able to get stable Eero router connectivity.

2. Wrong network settings

Whenever you encounter a MyQ connectivity issue with an Eero router, first of all, you should check your Eero network settings. You should ensure that 2.4 GHz is enabled on your Eero network.

If your Eero network exceeds 2,4 GHz on WiFi network band settings, your Eero device will not be compatible to connect to the MyQ device.

You have to disable 5 GHz on the Eero network and enable 2.4 GHz to connect MyQ to the Eero router.

3. Using the old protocol

Have you checked the protocol of your Eero network when you encountered the connectivity issue? Possibly, you are using the old protocols of the Eero network such as WEP or WPA. Therefore, you can’t connect the MyQ door opener technology to the Eero router.

You should know one thing you can’t connect your door opener to the Eero network’s old protocol. You have to upgrade it. It should be the WPA2 protocol.

Another thing is that you should not use the mixed mode setting (WPA/WPA2/WPA3) on your Eero network when you are connecting it to MyQ door opener technology. This will also cause connectivity issues.

Hence, whenever you connect MyQ to the Eero network, you should only use the WPA2 protocol.
