Sounds like the user got this resolved by adding a repeater (most likely with same SSID and password), however I had similar issues when trying to connect my Garage Doors to the network. I had turned off the 5 Ghz SSID and only exposed the 2.4 Ghz, but even then, I could not get this to work. I also even went as far as creating separate networks; one for 2.4 and another for 5, but even that didn't work. Following the instructions on my MyQ app didn't do me much better, which involved unplugging the garage door and then hitting a button 3x. In the end, what did work was completely resetting my garage door wifi setup. This most likely is different for each type of garage door, but for me following these steps (https://support.chamberlaingroup.com/s/article/How-to-clear-the-Wi-Fi-settings-on-MyQ-Wi-Fi-product) and then retrying the wifi setup worked. I sort of ran into this by accident and I really wish the garage door app had this as a suggestion as well. Hope this helps someone else.
