I just setup brand new Quest 3 and it doesn't detect my WiFi 6E network (router ASUS AXE-11000). 2,4GHz and 5GHz is detected. Quest Pro that I have used to have the same problem but it would eventually detect my WiFi 6E network after several reboots or/and waiting few minutes. Latest v57 fixed it for Quest Pro and from then on it would detect WiFi 6E network immediately or after 10-15 seconds.
Unfortunately it's not the case for Quest 3. I tried a few different channels and restarted many times. Tired to add SSID manually. Nothing works. I can't really use WiFi 5GHz to play PCVR because I have several 5Ghz networks around me that cause interference so 6GHz is the only way.
Edit: After many more attempts of chaning channels and different settings on the router, restarts of the router and the headset I still can't get it to find it. It did show up for a brief while but when attempted to connect it says "can't connect, try again later" and disappears from the list.
This is the exact same problem that happened on Quest Pro just more pronounced. Meta you need to address this issue. I have too many 5GHz networks around me so 6GHz WiFi is my only choice.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Same, Due to stutter issue with the cable link I bought a new Asus 6e router. Quest 3 is very inconsistent with finding the network. Sometimes it takes several minutes. sometimes even does not find it

WORKING OUT THE KINKS!?? Ffs, that makes no sense. DOES THE QUEST 3 SUPPORT WIFI 6E OR NOT!? I bought mine two weeks ago and have been wracking my brain trying to get it to connect to my wifi 6 router! EVERYTHING indicates that this is supposed to be a no brainer. FWIW, trying to connect to an Asus Predator AXE7800.

Hey there! Just checking in to see if this is still an issue and if more could provide the details I asked for above as well as the kind of router you're using!

Hi, yes this is still an issue on V63 and I tested the V64 PTC update to and 6e network is not visible on quest 3.
Very important thing to note that my iPhone 15 pro works perfectly every day without any issues on that 6e network that quest 3 can't see.
Router name: ASUS RT-AXE7800

Installed the new official V64(not on PTC anymore) and 6e network was visible for a breif moment and than it disappeared again. Yes I’m very close to my router and YES iPhone 15 pro still works flawlessly when connected to that 6e network. Please meta fix software so I can finally connect to 6e.
