Smart Garage Hub | Device Shows Offline or Unable to Connect to Wi-Fi
If your myQ Garage Hub, Smart Garage Hub, or Smart Garage Control appears offline in the myQ app, the issue is usually related to power, Wi-Fi, or changes to your home network.
Follow the quick checks below before troubleshooting the LED light on the hub.
Check These First
Before checking the LED Status on the hub, confirm the following:
Identify Your Device Type
Confirm which type of device you have before troubleshooting.
Supported Devices: myQ Smart Garage, myQ Smart Garage Hub, Smart Garage Control
- These devices are separate hubs installed near the garage door opener that add Wi-Fi control to compatible openers.
- Check Compatibility: Make sure your garage door opener is compatible with myQ Garage and myQ Smart Hub.
- If you've confirmed that you have a compatible hub → continue with the next step.
-
If you have a garage door opener with built in Wi-Fi ⓘ
Some garage door openers have Wi-Fi already built into the opener itself. You can tell if your opener has built-in Wi-Fi if:
- There is a Wi-Fi logo or Wi-Fi LED on the opener, usually near the LEARN button.
- There is no separate square hub device installed near the opener.
Built-in Wi-Fi openers do not require a myQ Smart Garage Hub or Smart Garage Control. If your opener has built-in Wi-Fi, follow the Wi-Fi Garage Door Opener | Wi-Fi Troubleshooting Guide.
Confirm the Hub is Added to Your myQ Account
If the hub isn't added to your account, it won't appear in the app.
- If you see your hub listed but showing Offline → Continue troubleshooting below.
- If your hub is not listed → You’ll need to add it to your account: How to Add a Smart Garage Hub to Your myQ Account
Check Power
Make sure the hub is plugged into a working outlet and the LED light on the front of the device is visible.
- Test the outlet with another device if you're unsure.
- If there’s no LED light at all troubleshoot No LED Below
Check Internet and Router
Restart your router or modem.
- Unplug your router or modem for 10–15 seconds, then plug it back in and wait for it to reconnect to the internet.
- Make sure your router is connected to the internet. If you're not sure, contact your internet service provider to troubleshoot or check for an outage.
Check for Recent Network Changes
If you changed your Wi-Fi password, network name (SSID), or installed a new router you’ll need to reset and reconnect your device.- How to Clear the Wi-Fi Settings on a myQ Wi-Fi Device
- How to Reconnect to myQ after Replacing the Router or Changing the Router Settings
Confirm Hub and Door Sensor Placement
Incorrect placement can prevent the hub from completing setup or communicating with the door sensor.
Hub placement guidelines:
- Mount the hub 4–6 feet away from the garage door opener
- Avoid mounting directly on the opener or metal surfaces
- Keep the hub within range of your home Wi-Fi network
Door sensor placement
ⓘ
The door sensor detects whether the garage door is open or closed and sends that status to the hub. If the sensor is not mounted correctly or cannot communicate with the hub, the device may not complete setup or operate properly in the myQ app.
- Install the sensor on the top panel of the garage door
- Mount the sensor vertically with the logo facing outward
- Make sure the sensor is securely attached and not loose
Troubleshoot by LED Status
If the device still appears offline after completing the checks above, use the LED light on the front of the hub to identify the connection status.
LED Light Location: On the front panel of the hub
Select the LED pattern that matches your device.
