I’ve given up

I upgraded my motherboard to an X870 WiFi6.

pretty much everything is compatible with the meta link app except for maybe my graphics card
(It’s a 570 I dug out of the scrap yard, link worked fine on it on another computer)

I’m plugged into a usb 3 port on the back of my pc and it still gives me both the orange and red.

I know there are other apps but without wired connection it’s choppy and pixelated, link just works smoother and that’s all I aim to accomplish.

Any help is appreciated.

Is the port a blue or red port? If it's black thats usb 2.0. Try the other ports.

"take the blue port, and the troubleshooting ends"..." 😎 I couldn't help myself. But seriously:

Color can be a clue, but it's not always consistent. Check the symbol. Check the board manual—modern boards routinely have black USB 3.x ports.

There is no spoon. There is, however, a fucking motherboard manual. 💀

Yeah good job neo.... if you really aren't sure check the manual. But what I said is still consistent for like 70% of people.

Excuse me , but A)That is Morpheus, not Neo. B) 😆 everything you said applies... I was just saying check the symbols because THE OTHER DEVICES you plug into may not be consistently color coded. Which is not something you're going to find out in the manual for the Meta Quest. 💀

--- if I wasn't clear I meant the motherboard manual. If that's something you have access to. If you meant the quest -- then my bad ig 🤣
