Have you checked which 2.4 GHz channels your garage opener accepts? You might need to change the channel on Orbi to one that is ok for the garage opener.
I can see in the specs for Chamberlain (MyQ) that it only supports channels 1-11, so avoid using e.g. channel 13.
Set Orbi to channel 1, 6 or 11.
