My headset is being super weird with connecting to WiFi I’m not sure if it’s broken or not

 I have looked through forums and every single thread on here including the solutions other users have tried. My headset was not connected to the WiFi giving a “connected to device cannot provide internet” message. When the day before it was just fine and working. Here are the following steps I have tried including the advice and steps you have been giving everyone. I have;

  • I have forgotten the network device
  • I have soft restart my headset 
  • I have hard restart my headset
  • i have done a factory reset via both the mobile app and headset
  • I have switch band lengths via the router
  • I have restart my router
  • I have reboot my headset 
  • I have tried connecting through the WiFi through the mobile app as well only to get a error message 
  • I have force updated my headset on the website with the correct steps that are required 
  • I was right next to my router trying these steps
  • i tried changing the gateway code (via another users solution on a thread I saw)

The problem with other solutions I find on Reddit threads is that their headset is setup. Since I did factory reset my headset and my headset isn’t connecting to the WiFi no matter what I do I am also stuck on the WiFi screen to continue setting up my headset. I do not have a hotspot for my phone plan so I can not do such either. All of my other devices seem to work but my headset specifically. I do notice when I turn my headset on or try soft reseting it, a small unfamiliar beep is heard. This is extremely frustrating but I am willing to be patient if it can fix my headset. Please help 😓

  • Take your headset to a friend's house or place that has a free wifi hotspot and see if you can connect to their wifi and get internet working 🙂. Then you will know if your headset is working or not, and if it is, then try to connect to your home wifi again.

        Did the factory reset break the wifi/internet functionality, or did you do the reset because you were already experiencing connectivity issues?

        When you used the Meta Quest Software Update tool to update the headset, was that after doing the factory reset or before?
