Hi everyone, 

For some reason i can't find my wifi when i try to connect my Oculus Quest to the internet. I do not have any issue to use my phone as a hotspot. Anyone knows why i can't find my internet? I have 3 molbie wifi (not dongle) my neighbour has the same but a different router and i can find that.

Do you have your WiFi set on Hidden on Security settings? My Router as well as my Computer has that feature

HI, 

Thanks for the comment. 

I can find my WiFi on any other device just my Oculus Quest. I'm thinking is because my wifi only support 2.5 ghz and not 5 ghz. But can't find any info about it. Never had issues with connecting any device to my wifi just the Quest.

It can work on 2.4ghz.

Have you tried changing the password encryption from something else to WPA?
It might be on WEP.

Question, Can you find your Headset Broadcasting on your computer when it is turned on? It may not be paired but you should see it. For example, I can go to my WiFi settings on my computer and see everything it is connected too and the link to my Xbox controller as well as other items, I can also find items it is not connected to and click allow on them like phones. Because of my security settings, I had to allow it to connect the first time I tried to pair my Xbox controller. This is just something to consider.

You might be right, my wifi password is just numbers. Might try and change that and see if that works. Cheers

I can't find the oculus there either, but it looks like it might be the wifi password. Thank you for your answer

Another thing I thought I should tell you about is my Router with WiFi, The Brand of my Router is a ARRIS. When I first hooked it up all was working good or so I thought it was. I soon found out there was certain programs and even websites that I could no longer see. Now understand my Router has built in WiFi and so does my Computer. What I learned that I did not know is the default Security settings in my Router was very high. This was preventing me from running certain software and visiting some websites. I did some research into my Router and learned how to adjust the security settings on the Router from Very high to low. I figured my security software on my computer would handle the security I needed for my computer. What I learned was my Security settings were just too high on my Router. By adjusting it, I solved a lot of my Problems. Anyway, Thought I should share this with you.

Hi, 

Thanks again. 

I checked these settings and mine was set in Cone, the lower sercurity one and it says is ideal for gaming devices etc. 

I have tried everything and can't find my network on the Oculus Quest 😞
