Need port 8883 opened for MyQ to work on my garage door

MyQ app can allow remote opening of my garage door by Amazon. It has suddenly stopped working and I can not connect MyQ to my home network. I activated port triggering on my gateway but it still doesn't work. If I can't get this port opened I will contact Sonic and stop using Xfinity as my ISP.

msnordberg Thanks for posting on our Forums. Are you having any issues with other devices connecting or working properly? Have you reached out to MyQ support for troubleshooting if it is solely with that app?

No other IOT device in my household uses that port. I used my wife's phone as a wifi hotspot and was able to connect and open the garage door with the app, so it is not the app. Until 2021 you could use the Xfinity app to open MyQ enabled garage doors, so you had to have the port open. It was working perfectly till the other day. If you are unwilling or unable to open that port, which I need so I can get Amazon key delivery, then I will cancel my Xfinity Wifi and  change to Sonic as my ISP. They have fiber running to my neighorhood and they allow you to open a port yourself. I think while I am at it I will test YouTube TV and see how that is, maybe I can can cancel my whole Triple Play and save some money. Your move.
