myQ Performance Disclaimer
The performance of the myQ Gateway depends on radio frequency (RF) communication, not Wi-Fi. Reliability may vary based on the distance between the Gateway and your gate, as well as environmental factors such as walls, metal surfaces, and other sources of interference.

For best results, install the Gateway:
• Close to the gate opener (additional network equipment may be required)
• Away from sources of interference
• In a location with a clear RF signal path

Don, Sydney NSW

I would gladly recommend to anyone who is thinking of purchasing a remote controlled garage opener to talk to the wonderful people.at Merlin. I was impressed with the high workmanship of the installer and the excellent after sales service that followed the installation.

Trent, Sydney NSW

The myQ opener is working fantastically. It opens and closes at a good speed. I love the ability to receive alerts when it opens and closes as well as being able to control the door from the app on my phone.

Richard, Sydney NSW

I have had the myQ Garage door opener system installed to my detached garage for several months. The motor, myQ Smartphone app and the entire system has operated faultlessly throughout this period. I couldn’t imagine getting by without it. The Technician responsible for the Merlin myQ installation was the most responsible and well mannered person I have come across. I encourage anyone interested in having a fully integrated garage door opening system linked to their smart phone or tablet to consider the Merlin myQ garage door opener.

Mei, Melbourne VIC

After installing Merlin Silentdrive Elite myQ to my roller door, getting in and out of the garage had been a lot easier and safer. I can either operate through the remote control or iPhone, set it to automatic closing after I opened. I can open or close the garage door away from home, and the safety beam makes sure there is no obstacles before closing. The only slight inconvenience is that the LED light is a bit dim. Overall, it’s a pleasure experience to use Merlin and I would definitely recommend it to my families and friends.
