After owning and using a G0301 (black version) for about 3 yrs, it became increasingly unreliable. Reconnecting the hub to the Internet became difficult, then impossible. The last few weeks of useless Google searches and troubleshooting got me nowhere, but it became pretty clear that the issues had something to do with WPA encryption settings. - I spent several hours with MyQ Tech Support people in three different sessions. Finally, after about 90 minutes of troubleshooting with the last person, she told me that my black G0301 Hub was hopelessly outdated. Long story short, I replaced it with a newer white G0401 hub from Amazon (about $27). Here’s the thing: the new hub allows for WPA 3 security on your home wifi network. It also has updated Bluetooth. After months of pulling out my hair, the G0401 white hub connected instantly with ZERO trouble. Both garage doors work fine now, and the troublesome MyQ app on my Apple Watch (which seldom worked) is now working fine. Sadly, there is an old PCWorld article out there that still comes up in a search which will MISINFORM you that the difference between the two versions of contrllers (hubs) is basically just cosmetic. WRONG! I wish they would correct this, because itcost me countless hours. Time will tell about future reliability, but setup and connectivity issues are rampant all over the ‘net. It’s not because Chamberlain/ Liftmaster has bad equipment. It’s because encryption tech in wifi has evolved and I just needed a new hub. I only wish I had known this a year ago! see less CRUCIAL DIFFERENCE! After owning and using a G0301 (black version) for about 3 yrs, it became increasingly unreliable.
