Here, we will discuss why the Oculus Link is not working and the potential fixes to get rid of the problem.

There are a few reasons for the Oculus link not working for Quest 2; some of the common ones are mentioned here: 

Outdated graphics or USB driver – The Oculus link might not work correctly if your computer has outdated drivers. Therefore it is advised to update your PC drivers.

Corrupted system files – If your computer files are corrupt, you might face issues. Use a repair tool to fix it.

Perform the following preparatory checks to ensure that the issue is not a result of fundamental problems which may require only subtle tweaks:

Reboot your computer, and Quest 2. Try Oculus Air Link instead of Oculus Link. Use a different USB slot. Check the Oculus link compatibility page. If you have a slow internet connection, try using an ethernet cable. Opt out of the public channel.
