Unable to Connect the myQ Smart Garage Camera to My Home Wi-Fi Network and LED Is Flashing Blue

When attempting to connect a myQ Smart Garage Camera to your home Wi-Fi network, the LED indicator will go through a sequence of flashes before the LED turns solid green to confirm the connection. Each step of the sequence indicates what the camera is attempting to do and how you approach troubleshooting depends on the LED light's behavior and color.

 

A flashing blue LED light indicates that your camera is ready to be connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
