Note! Only reset your router to default settings if you know what you are doing and can later handle basic router configuration. If nothing else works and you verified that there are no disconnects when using a different Wi-Fi network (e.g mobile hotspot), then sometimes it might be worth trying to reset your router to default settings. Sometimes forgetting the Wi-Fi network and then reconnecting again via Oculus App on your smartphone might also help. Look under your router for management console login details and google “ split 2.4 and 5ghz” on how to do it.īefore jumping in changing your router settings, be sure to try the simple things first- restart your router and headset. Since there are so many different routers available, it is hard to give a “ one-fits-all” manual on how to split the bands. For regular gaming, 2.4GHz is enough, but if you use Virtual Desktop or Oculus Air Link, a 5GHz connection should be preferred. The solution is to create separate Wi-Fi networks for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and connect your Quest 2 to only one of them.

This, unfortunately, causes disconnects and issues with the Oculus Quest 2. Often referred to as “Smart Connect”, the router automatically switches devices (including the Quest 2) between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The most common reason for frequent disconnects from Wi-Fi seems to be that Oculus Quest 2 is unable to properly function with Wi-Fi networks that have 2.4GHz / 5GHz bands configured for a single SSID (Wi-Fi network name).


The most common steps to fix Oculus Quest 2 W-iFi related issues (e.g Disconnects or not connecting at all, Wi-Fi not turning on, connected but no internet): But we are not living in an ideal world, are we? If you are currently facing Wi-Fi connectivity issues with your beloved Oculus Quest 2 headset, then you have arrived at the right place. In an ideal world, tech gadgets would work flawlessly all the time.
