Quest 2 / Windows 11 Connection Problem

Post by rroche » Sat Feb 26, 2022 4:25 pm

Hi, I have an intermittent Connection problem with my Oculus Quest 2 Headset and my Dell Alien running Windows 11. It works fine 80% of the time, but when it fails to connect I can't seems to find the sequence of events that make it connect. I have a fairly new Dell Alien that when it connects works great. Oculus support says I should install Windows 10, (this seems strange to me), my Alien came w/ Windows 11 installed. I appreciate any advice, it's frustrating and I've tried to figure it out. It's been going on for months and I'd like it reliable. Thanks.

Are you running the Oculus via Link or AirLink?

I just got a Quest 2 yesterday, and I had also sorts of problems getting the unit to pair with my laptop until I opened my firewall to a number of Oculus programs.

I think AirLink is the way to go as it avoids long and costly USB cables, but you need to have a 5GHz WiFi access point in the same room for best results.

Thanks. I have been using the USB c cable. I'll try AirLink.

Hello

I have win 10 but I also tried airlink with quest 2.
It works but take care of the battery charge. Standard battery gives you 2 (relatively sure) or 3(?) hours.
For a long flight it is very disturbing to see warning on the low level of the battery
Regards

i had a lot of issues with Quest 2 on W11.

After researching it on google - a lot of peope had same issue. Everybody said that Quest 2 is still not compatibile with W11

Went back to W10 - all fine now :) No issues
