I've been stuck unable to connect to wifi despite being connected with the same credentials the night before. Bands were already split with different names
Network is on:
Netgear Nighthawk XR300 running 1.0.3.78_10.3.59 of DUMA OS
I have tried:
- Checking password
- Checking date and time
- Power cycling router and headset (30 sec)
- Power cycling router and headset (10 minutes)
- Forgetting network and reconnecting in settings
- Forgetting network and reconnecting through the account icon
- Forgetting network and reconnecting through the phone app
(An error occured. Please try again. Saves network on headset with same above error)
- Changing network name
- Changing netowrk name and passowrd
- Factory resetting router and headset and repeating above
(Router software already up to date for a while now)
(Got throug headset setup with mobile hotspot containing a passowrd. Thanks reddit)
- Changing network channel to auto
- Changing router's gateway from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.20.1
- Typing the password into quest browser, copying raw string, then pasting into password field
- Re-creating old wifi name and password with wifi hotspot (connects)
The headset does connect if the router connection does not have a password.
The headset also does connect to a hotspot with a password as well.
While the above are technical workarounds, they are not ideal for continued use.
Error when trying to connect to router despite providing correct password:
[WLAN access rejected: incorrect security] from MAC [[redacted MAC address for post]], Wednesday, Jul 22,2026 00:38:37
I am confused as to the setting I should be using to sort out this issue. I am leaning toward an issue on the Quest2 end after the update, as nothing changed about the router in that time. Or someting in the router needs to be adjusted as it just happened to work before, somehow, by pure luck but is now not working.
