How to connect to my mobile hotspot to use Oculus on the go?

Does anyone know how I can use my mobile wifi hotspot so we can use the Oculus Quest in locations where there isnt a wifi connection?

I've been through the app and the quest but cannot see anywhere to connect but the phone is paired with the Quest because we can install new games...etc via the Oculus app.

Cheers,
Simon

On your phone, turn on the mobile hotspot. (If you haven't set it up before, you will need to set up a name and password)
Put the Quest on and go to the settings and find the wifi option.
It should show a list of nearby wifi spots.
Select your phone's hotspot, select Connect then enter the password.
You should now be using your phone's data connection for the Quest.

Thanks for the reply, I've done that but it wont use the connection for the internet. It seems to work on a phone that does NOT have the Oculus app on so it's a bit strange, naturally I can connect other devices to my hotspot no problem.

it worked when i first did it but now it wont find my hotspot i restarted my phone multiple times idk what to do.

 

My phones hotspot won’t appear when I try to connect my headset
