Multiple LLMs report this is a known issue in Quest (once again, works on other androi-based devices). Apparently the network stack won't initialize unless it receives an ACK packet. This should be easily testable and I would suspect, easily fixable.
I ended installing dnsmasq and being done with this.
Since I'm washing my hands of this, my initial (untested) idea was running this:
echo -n "$binary_dhcp_ack" | nc -u -w1 <client_ip> 68
I actually tried setting the wifi to static on my Quest 3 today, and as soon as I change it from DHCP to Static, it won't let me save the settings, the button just greys out.
I had the same issue. As soon as I switched from DHCP to Static the connect button would be greyed out. What fixed it for me was typing in all fields manually, even those that seem to already have the appropriate placeholder/default.
- IP Adress
- Gateway
- Prefix lengh 24
- DNS1 8.8.8.8
- DNS2 8.8.4.4
