It has been ages since I started a thread here

04 4.4 with integrated garage door opener (Premium Package?).

I've noticed over the last few years that the range of my garage door opener has decreased considerably. I used to be able to open the door from the street. That is about 120' away from the garage. Now, I need to be within about 15' of the garage for it to open.

This problem isn't particular to the X5. The remotes that came with the opener exhibit the same problem. I did some googling but didn't find much information.

Suggestions were:

- Try checking codes (it's the old style single code Genie 1/2 HP screw drive). Done.

- Try cycling the power on the opener. Done.

- Check the antenna and try repositioning it. Done.

- Could be interference from Wi-Fi networks. I didn't find the frequencies listed but that could be the issue. There are more hotspots than there used to be and more may be dual band than a few years ago.

Anyone here have any suggestions?

Thanks.
