Hey jjcoolya, Thanks for letting us know about your issue. We want to do our best to help you out and hopefully get you back to regular use of your headset. First and foremost, thank you for attempting to troubleshoot your headset on your own. However, we want to know if you were able to reboot or factory reset the headset.You may also have overlooked a couple of things, which we will list below. Furthermore, consider the following:
- Clear the cache on your Bluetooth and internet services.
- Unpair and repair the headset.
- Try a hotspot to see if it isn't the network you are using and not the headset.

Hi, I tried this but it isn’t my internet, all the other networks in my area are also shown as locked.

Hey there glandcrusher! Can you give us a little more information on what's happening for you? When you say all the other networks around you are showing as locked, are you referring to other people's internet signals or other signals in your own house? We look forward to your reply!

Hey Yeshua.torres,
Thank you for letting us know the issue. We definitely know it is never a good time when you have to deal with WIFI issues. Especially when you just want to relax and do some gaming.
If you receive an error while trying to connect to Wi-Fi, you may need to connect your headset to another Wi-Fi network. Some possible causes for Wi-Fi issues with your headset include:
- Captive Portals: A captive portal is a web page that prompts you to interact with it before connecting you to the internet. These are commonly used by public Wi-Fi networks in businesses, airports, hotels, and other venues that offer free Wi-Fi hotspots. This type of network will not work to setup your Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest, but may work after your initial setup.
- Weak signal: If your Wi-Fi network signal is weak, your headset may not see it. Try moving closer to the router (internet connection device), or switching to another Wi-Fi network that has a stronger signal.
- Incorrect password: Make sure that you have entered your Wi-Fi password correctly. Try disconnecting from the network, reconnecting, and reentering your Wi-Fi password.
Before you begin Wi-Fi specific troubleshooting steps, please reboot your headset to see if that resolves the issue. To do this:
- Hold down the power button on your Meta Quest headset.
- Continue holding until you see a prompt in VR to reboot your headset.
- Select reboot, then try connecting to Wi-Fi again.
To change the Wi-Fi network your headset is connected to using the Meta Quest mobile app:
- Turn on your headset and open the Meta Quest mobile app on your phone.
- Tap Devices in the bottom menu, then select the headset that you are currently using.
- Tap Wi-Fi.
- Tap the new Wi-Fi network you’d like to connect to and enter the password, if prompted.
- Tap Connect to Wi-Fi.
To change the Wi-Fi network your headset is connected to from your headset:
- Press/on your right Touch controller to pull up your universal menu.
- Hover over the clock on the left side of the universal menu. When Quick Settings appears, select it to open the Quick Settings panel.
- Select Wi-Fi.
- Select the Wi-Fi network you'd like to connect to and enter the password.
- Select Connect.
Please let us know if this was helpful for you.
