If the hub/gateway is malfunctioning:
  1. Verify the hub/gateway has an active internet connection. For device-specific instructions, see the device's installation guide in Garage.
    Note: If the LiftMaster device uses Wi-Fi, verify there is sufficient Wi-Fi signal in the installation location. For more troubleshooting information, see LiftMaster MyQ Smart Garage Hub - Troubleshooting Guide or LiftMaster/Chamberlain Wi-Fi Garage Door Opener - Installation Guide.
     
  2. Verify the hub/gateway has power. For device-specific instructions, see the device's installation guide in Garage.
  3. Verify the hub/gateway is compatible with the garage door opener.
If the garage door is malfunctioning:

Locally open and close the garage door, then verify whether the correct garage door status displays on the Customer Website and app.

If the status does not update when the door is opened and closed, see Garage door opener is in malfunction but the LiftMaster MyQ Internet Gateway is not or LiftMaster MyQ Smart Garage Hub - Troubleshooting Guide.
