Chamberlain MYQ Orbi752 won't connect

- Wouldn't you know it but Chamberlain support had a fix!
Apparently the issue was using the Android app to try to connect. They showed me a work-around using a web interface to authenticate the network.
Here's what I did..
#1) Go through steps to update wifi settings via control panel on opener itself. (push and hold rectangular button until led button lights turn off on unit. Then push yellow round button 3 times. Rectangular button will blink blue.)
#2) Go to wifi settings in phone and myq opener should be visible. Select it. Let it connect.
#3) Open a browser on phone. Type in "setup.myqdevice.com" and enter. It will open a web interface for setting up the wifi. Follow prompts and it should work. It did for me and I was even able to leave AX mode enabled as well as go back to regular wpa2.
I know where this goes. The two manufacturers pointing their fingers at each other. Ugh
I already spoke with NG support. Read first post for their recommendations.

It's only when using the app that the device gets confused because the phone supports different wireless protocols than the device. This technique should also work for 2.4Ghz devices whose apps get confused by phones connected via 5Ghz.
