cannot connect to wifi

Just got metaquest 2   However I am unable to connect to my home wifi.  It says my password is incorrect.  However, my wifi password is correct.  I have been trying for at least 3 days to connect to wifi and have been unable to do so. Can I just delete my facebook app on my phone and then re-install it?  However if I do this, I am afraid I will lose Resident Evil and BeatSaber which are the games I have.  Please help.  Thank you.

Hey Winnacott4! We see that you are having issues with connecting to your Wi-Fi. No worries, we will work with you to make sure you get pointed in the right direction. If you are trying to connect to the Wi-Fi while in the headset we recommend that you try doing it through the mobile app instead. Here are the steps to get you connected via 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.

Let us know if this helped. You can also find more options for troubleshooting Wi-Fi connection issues by going here

I am still unable to connect to wifi.  I open metaquest app on phone and go to menu and see my name Dr G   I then see 9 squares, one of which says Devices.  I click Devices and I see Metaquest 2 at top and it says it is connected synched a few seconds ago.  I do not see anything further. Nothing comes up to enter password.  I go to my headset and try to connect to wifi and it does not connect.  It says my password is wrong.

I downloaded and installed the RouteThis app  and opened it.  However it asks for the code provided by by your support representative:"   However I do not see any code from any representative.  Help.  How do I get this code?  Thank you.

I downloaded, opened and ran RouteThis.  This is their 3 recommendations:

1) "Try loading google.com on phone/tablet to make sure the page loads and you are connected to the internet"

    I did that and google.com opened fine

2) "If a device other than your phone/tablet cannot browse to that site or is not connecting to the internet reboot the device."

I did a reset on the headset a couple of days ago and that did not work.  Maybe you could send me instructions on how to do a full factory Reboot.  

 

3) "Make sure you disable and VPN's (Virtual Private Network) or adblockers that might be keeping your devices from connecting to the internet"

How do I disable VPN?  How do I disable adblocker and how do I know if my phone had adblockers?

Thank you.
