  2. Once powered on, the headset should prompt you to set up your play area

You can also access Wi‍-Fi settings by pressing the VIVE button on the right controller, and then select More > Wi-Fi. Please Note: If you are presented with a captive portal screen while trying to connect to a public-access Wi-Fi network, open the VIVE web browser.
