Quest 2, 3 & Pro - Connectivity Issues

• Yes there is such function but it is indicated under the name «  confidentiality »….TBH I don’t see the link between a fixed and a rolling Mac with confidentiality. Outside that, if there is a bug in the soft that lead the HMD to switch to a new Mac so to a new IP delivered by the DHCP, my VD app that is connected to its PC streamer counterpart disconnect automatically because it tries discussing with an IP adress that is no longer available. Even if the HMD switch back to the former Mac and IP , I need to quit and réopen VD to reconnect to the PC through the wireless link with the dedicated router. it would so be nice that META would look if some internal software configuration bug could not make that the HMD switches  alone to the rolling Mac configuration even if the fixed one has been selected….Another possibility is that there is internally a fixed Mac for the wifi card and a fixed Mac for example for the wired USB input? So that the bug would be an unexpected attempt to use the USB input even if it is not connected to a cable….Whatever being I’m quite sure that the problem is coming from this point.

I’m also using a Freebox revolution 6 with no problem but I’m not using the Freebox wifi. Usually I’m connected in PcVR through a dedicated TPLINK router connected by cable to the Freebox internal router through fast CPL (electric lines transmitters) at this time I encounter sometimes wireless disconnections that’s the reason of my presence here. However when I want playing stand alone I connect directly to the Freebox but through another wifi router used as a wifi acess point in 5Ghz and in this case it seems I have no problems. The Freebox is achieving the DHCP function for all my local network however. I encourage you defining Freebox parameters in myfreebox.freebox.fr to allocate « un bail fixe » to the Q3 using its MAC adress (visible in the about section of system parameters in the HMD VR) and choose you local IP adress accordingly like 192.168.x.x and to connect to the 5Ghz 802.11ac or ax only not to 2.4Ghz network. If necessary, use a dedicated to Q3 secondary router configured in AP connected by Ethernet to the internal Freebox server router.

I've been having this problem since May, thought I was the only one. Sadly I can't just connect to a separate router to fix it, I don't have the money at the moment to get a dedicated router. I am on google fiber and I can't just change the band that I am connecting to. This is really sad to cause I've only had my headset for 2 months now and I can't enjoy any game as it stands with these wifi drops. I really hope this problem gets fixed soon.

It's hard to tell what everyone situation is or if these are even the same issue.  Mine clearly started with the v64 update. I had been using my 6ghz wifi for months before that with no problems. After the update my connection would continually drop out between the headset and the router (TP Link XE75 - dedicated access point).  Luckily for me 5ghz worked fine and continues to work fine for me. I have tried 6ghz several times, including after getting the v65 update and the same issue exists. It immediately starts dropping the connection over and over again. It usually reconnects after a few seconds, but it's enough to make PCVR or any online games useless. THANK GOD my 5ghz still is working fine. I feel bad for those who can't get either band to work correctly. 

Meta support won't even recognise the issue and just want to instantly replace the headset as well without even doing any diagnostics, they have no interest in diagnosing the issue with me either.

For now I’m testing activation of both 5 and 6Ghz on the router plus I suppress the DHCP and used a fixed local IP through MAC adress…in the HMD using the advanced button in the network parameters wait and see 

The whole problem is probably just a bug that appeared after the update with some settings. I had a similar problem with an APP: Moon Player, never really used it, but after some update every film didn't start at the beginning, but completely randomly in the middle of a film and the controls to adjust the position of the movie screen wasn't working either.
Uninstalling/resetting everything in the app/reinstalling didn't help.
I then went into the Android file system of this app and manually deleted all remaining files there: and the problem was solved.

That's what will probably solve the problem here too. But where are the complete (!) wifi setting files stored in android? And can they be deleted with user rights?

That's what a factory reset should do which I have done twice, no change WiFi still drops every 10 minutes (and other times it's completely random)

 We had this with the white sparkles caused by an update on the Quest 2 for ages (got fixed many months later), we had audio dropout on the Rift caused by an update (never fixed) now this WIFI dropout, caused by an update.

Please, just give us the option to roll back to a working version, it's that simple, especially for a PCVR user that doesn't need new features offered by updates.

Still not a single reply from meta on this issue?

It's a 29 page long forum post, you would think they would acknowledge the issue here and give us a steer if this is software related.

But no.....you raise a case with meta and they instantly want to replace the whole headset, what a joke.

I don't even use the headset anymore as I can't play online without dropping out every 10 min, just sits in the box.
