If you are stuck on an older version of the oculus quest 2 firmware here is a quick and easy way to force an update to get you updated.

Here’s how to force a quest 2 firmware update if you have been left behind like me. You will need a cellphone that can activate a hotspot and I will say my phone actually doesn’t have hotspot enabled but has the function to be turned on and it still worked for me, and I hope it does for you.

Step one, In your headset go to the quick menu then wifi settings and disconnect your quest 2 from your home wifi. Mine is blanked out here because meta apparently cares about privacy when you record videos on your quest. Everything else on the other hand.…

Now grab your phone and enable your hotspot. You may need to disable your phone wifi to get the hotspot working just a heads up.

Go back into your headset and now connect your quest to your phones hotspot network. it is often named after your phone name like the default network name iPhone for apple users.

Then go to the system menu under settings and check the update tab again and with the quest gods on your side you’ll see that no updates available box turn to pure gold saying update now.

After this I changed my wifi back to my regular network to download the update which can take a while and then I installed it.

I hope this worked for you, I know getting a hotspot working can be finnicky so give it a couple tries if it doesn’t connect at first and happy updating questies.
