- Large items or walls are blocking the connection
- Home appliances are interfering with the connection
**How to strengthen the Wi-Fi signal
- Try to move the router to a room nearest the garage
- Move the router to the second story (if you have one) or higher on a shelf or cabinet
- Move the router away from metal objects (pipes, appliances, etc)
- Place the router out in the open, not within a cabinet
*The router should be no more than 150 feet away from the Garage Door Opener
