I have the same brand garage door opener (Genie) as my neighbor, whose garage is adjacent to my own. Often, when I am driving up and I hit my button, it opens her garage door (and vice versa), posing a security risk and causing a big hassle in general, trying to get them to open and/or close as I need them to do. Does anyone know if getting a different brand of garage door opener would solve the problem? I have tried getting a new remote opener and reprogramming the one I already had and none of this has worked. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

The door opener otherwise works as it should.

You can change the code.
But you have to do it on the remote & the opener
There are little switches in side. All you need do is just change one switch in the remote & the same one in the opener.
Look closely so both set of switches are facing the same way.

Find the toll free Genie phone number and get instructions for changing the code. A different brand of opener would virtually assure a different signal, but you shouldn't have to go to that expense. I assume that otherwise the opener works fine.

check the codes in the remote and the opener and change them to a different code you have to do both of them

there should be a way to change the code with the unit you have, hopefully you kept the instructions which would tell you how to do this
