Hello everyone.

The Mixed Reality Forums here are no longer being used or maintained.

There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.

The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.

For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.

If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.

And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

Can't connect to HoloLens Device Portal through wifi

So I followed all the steps here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/using-the-windows-device-portal
and I cannot connect to the Device Portal on my hololens through a wifi connection.

Specifically this does not work:

  • Connect from Windows machine on wifi to hololens wifi portal
  • Connect from Ubuntu machine on wifi to hololens wifi portal

But this does work:

  • Connect from Windows machine via usb cable to device portal
  • Connect from Ubuntu machine on ethernet cable to hololens wifi portal

I can't ping the hololens on wifi or on ethernet, but I can connect to the device portal when on ethernet or through a direct usb connection...

I tried disabling windows firewall to no avail. I set the network to a private network, no change.

The hololens is set on developer mode, and device portal is enabled.

Is there anything I may be missing in order to connect over wifi? I already contacted both hololens and windows support, both of which told me to contact the other and that it wasn't their problem.

    It seems like communication between devices on wifi over HTTPS on port 443 is blocked by something (most likely the router) any ideas on how to enable this?
