Connecting to a Wi-Fi network
It's easy to connect to
Wi-Fi using the
VIVE app or during the setup process, but you can also add or change networks from Settings.
Important: When using a phone controller with
VIVE Flow,
VIVE Flow can only connect to a
Wi-Fi network that supports
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/ac/n (5 GHz band). Make sure your
Wi-Fi router or phone's
Wi-Fi hotspot is set to the 5 GHz band. To learn how to set your phone's
Wi-Fi hotspot to 5 GHz, see
Why can't
VIVE Flow find my phone as a
Wi-Fi hotspot? . To learn how to set your
Wi-Fi router to the 5 GHz band, consult its user guide.
- If you're currently running an app, tap/press the VIVE button on the controller, and then select Back to Home.
- From Home, select Settings.
- In Connectivity, select Wi-Fi.
- Choose a Wi-Fi network to add from the list. If your network is hidden, add it manually by selecting Add Network at the bottom of the list.
- If this is the first time you've connected to this network, enter your network information.
Note:
- For some public Wi-Fi networks, such as the ones in hotels or airports, you'll need to open a web browser to log in to connect to the Wi-Fi network. In VR, open VIVE Browser, and then go to any website. VIVE Browser will redirect you to the log in page where you can enter the required credentials to connect.
- You can also use the VIVE app or VIVE Flow app to set up Wi-Fi for VIVE Flow. In the app, tap your VIVE Flow under Headset, and then tap Headset Wi-Fi.
