Do you have the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band on separate names(SSID)? This is called band steering and can cause problems with some devices. Also, do you have any spaces in your SSID? Last, how is the signal strength in your garage?
Correct. Why else would you connect a garage door opener to a router? You'd either open/close it via the transmitter included with the opener or an app on a phone. Unless it also has cameras, there isn't much to check on a garage door opener.
It connects but doesn't stay connected. As far as the frequency hopping, disregard, I suspect its NIC is probably sending an internal open/close command.
One way to test that theory is to try another device(phone?) in the same spot as the opener(with it turned off) and see if the problem occurs. If not, then it has to be something specific with the opener. I am guessing it's just weak signal.
In additions to the suggestions below, would actually go out to the garage and check the signal strength with WiFi Analyzer or similar. I added a separate router in the garage (ethernet backhaul) due to the signal loss issues.
I have an older Chamberlain setup that has a similar integration setup. Basically using the older setup you get a garage door remote that has an Ethernet port instead of a button to push. Plug it into the nearest Ethernet port within remote range of the garage door, setup the app, and it just works. I believe most newer openers have a wifi module built into the opener itself.
Strangely enough I found myself having to troubleshoot a problem with my setup and guess what feature doesn't come with a $1600 Unifi switch? 10Base-T backwards compatibility.
I am sorry, but I find that to be funny. It doesn't have 10baseT backwards compatibility? I thought that 100BaseTX required that backwards compatibility as a part of it's implementation?
Given my experience from the Unifi management console, I suspect they dropped 10Base-T on all their switching equipment. Documentation states 100Base-T/1G/2.5G/10G supported.
Yep, I suspected this might be the problem. The device being only 10Mbps was known to me and the problem started when the new switch got swapped in. I found one of my older GS series Netgear switches to put in the middle and I was able to get it to link. GS must stand for good switch, who knows.
The firewall has 8 unused Ethernet ports that support 10/100/1000 so that was the solution but even that wasn't plug'n play. The Chamberlain support literature says many routers are not compatible with their bridge due to the way they're internally wired. Ultimately I had to think back to some of my prior networking kung fu and decided to make a crossover cable which made it compatible with my firewall.

Don't garage door openers frequency hop for security?

how far away from the garage is your pano modem. How many walls does it have to go through, and is the last one a brick wall from the garage?
