Hi there! It sounds like the distance between your smart garage door and extender might be causing the connectivity issues. Here are a few things you could try:

  1. Move the extender closer to the garage door to improve signal strength.

  2. Consider getting a dedicated WiFi range extender or access point that is specifically designed for garage or outdoor use, as these devices typically have better range and durability.

  3. Check if there are any obstructions between the extender and the garage door, such as walls, metal objects, or other devices that could be causing interference. Try moving these objects out of the way to improve signal quality.

  4. Make sure that the firmware on your smart garage door and WiFi extender are up to date, as outdated firmware can sometimes cause connectivity issues.

Hopefully, these tips help you improve the connection between your smart Garage Door and extender.
