Unable to connect Chamberlain garage door opener via 5g internet
Working through multi vendor solution to enable MyQ app to successfully connect to Tmobile home internet. After long trouble shooting with Tmobile and Chamberlain, determined port 8883 is closed and the myq server connection requires an open 8883 port. Neither vendor is being responsive with a solution.

God you read my mind and issues please keep me posted if you get a resolution to this please! Just setup my new network tonight had all my TVs up and running in 20 minutes, spent 2 hours trouble shooting my opener and nothing!

IMO, the change has to come from Chamberlain to have the MyQ server listen to open ports. They will claim they use this port for security purposes. Hardwired connections like ATT might be secure enough to have the port open, not so much with 5G internet using the cellular network. I doubt T-Mobile will open the port (8883).
The more complaints Chamberlain gets, the more likely they might take action. Open a ticket with them. I pointed out to the Chamberlain support tech that this issue will only grow in frequency and just marking it as a known issue wont make it go away.

I have spent hours on multiple calls to both T-Mobile and Chamberlain. Each points the finger at the other. No resolution yet! So frustrating to have a smart garage door opener that is not.

Have same problem; just wrote to Chamberlain.

My opener has never connected to the myq server due to blocked port. I have been on tmobile home internet for around two weeks.

Having the same issue. Both of my Chamberlain garage openers worked fine up till 36-48 hours ago and then became unreachable in the MyQ app.
I figured TMobile changed something, like a blocked port (i.e. 8883).
To test this, I reconfigured the Garage openers to use my Verizon Hotspot and everything worked fine.
Looks like Tmobile added some filtering.
Please fix this or give us the ability allow exceptions on the router.

My original gateway worked well with the Chamberlain door and MyQ app. It was when the T-Mobile gateway was replaced due to its buffering and freezing issues that it no longer connected. T-Mobile claims nothing changed between the gateways. Replacement was a refurbished unit, the same model.
This is an update to my original post.

I found a quick easy solution for this. I have an old netgear N300 extender when I used with Comcast router to provide full house coverage. Now with t-mobile home internet router I do not need that extender anymore for coverage. I setup this extender again to create a 2.4 GHZ network for my MyQ to connect to. It worked like a charm.This 30 dollars extender will do the trick.

I’m having the same issue since switching to T-Mobile internet. MyQ will not connect. Everything I have works fine. Aside from myQ the internet is fantastic.
I spoke to Chamberlain they blamed T-Mobile router settings… which we have very basic access everything advanced is locked down.
