Others have reported this problem in various forums. A fix appears to be to disconnect your system from the Internet before starting the Oculus software (by launching it via Firestorm VR Mod for example) and then dismissing the message about it not connecting, then reconnecting to the Internet and carrying on.

An alternative is to block OculusDash.exe from connecting to the Internet until the issue is fixed. By default, it is in…

C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-dash\dash\bin

"Meta Quest Link isn't working correctly" error all of a sudden

Update 21-Jan-2026: A fresh update appeared today and that seems to have fixed this issue. Confusingly the same version number is reported even after the update and system restart… Meta Horizon Link version 83.0.0.333.349

For developers using the Gemini API, the free tier for models like Gemini 2.5 Flash has limitations such as 500 requests per day. If you need higher limits for the Gemini app, you can upgrade to a Google AI Pro or Ultra plan for more prompts, images, and features.
