Adding MyQ to Orbi wifi on 2.4 ghz
First, I am not tech-savvy. Second, I used to run my home on an Apple Airport router. The other day it crashed and my wife replaced it with the Orbi RBR20. Our home has a MyQ wireless garage ...
If your wife gave the Orbi the same (exactly) WiFi name and password as the old router, the garage door opener would have connected automatically. OK, let's assume the Orbi has a different WiFi name and password.....
Page 32 of the MyQ User Manual shows how to use a smartphone or tablet to set up the MyQ WiFi connection.

It looks like the MyQ is broadcasting its own tiny WiFi network. (This is what many "Internet of Things" (IoT) devices do.) When a browser on the smartphone/table connects to the MyQ's web site, tell it the WiFi name and password of the Orbi, and the MyQ should connect.
Where exactly does this fail?
CrimpOn,
Thank you for your help!
With the manual you included I was able to reset the wifi settings and get it set up using a wifi extender that I set up as a 2.4 GHz port.
I really appreciate the information!
