Have you tried to add on to the antenna ( using telephone wire "1" strand of it) or equivalent and feed the wire to the outside of the garage above the door. So the signal is not being disrupted by the door when closed. Just a thought!

Yes I did.  I used a whole spool of wire and ran it under the door.  It made no difference.  Through researching I actually read that the antenna length is important for it to function properly.  I will be trying it from the ceiling.  Just need to get another outlet installed.  Right now opener is working from the end of the driveway.

Most outlets handle 20 amps so even if you plug another wireless opener to your outlet it will not cause a problem (adding much less than 1 amp). Mine adaptor that went to four outlets had a screw that screwed it in place so it would not fall and then as others mentioned above you just put a wire tie or a Velcro strap (what I used) to keep everything neat and together.  No problems for 8 years.

Wanted to update this thread. I added an outlet on the ceiling and installed the receiver there. I gained about 6' in range. I can now activate it from the street at the bottom of the driveway.

Good to hear.  I may try that adaptor you got as well.

The guy is real nice to work with. Answers emails any time. I purchased online in the store and it was shipped within half an hour of payment and in my mailbox 2 days later. Took a whopping 2 minutes to set it up and most of that was setting up the step ladder to get to the learn button.
