My original Deck would get around 75Mbps in Steam on SteamOS. Windows 11 on my Deck will download around 650Mbps. My OLED Deck, in SteamOS is getting 200-300Mbps. I did try Bazzite on the Deck, it managed 350Mbps. I’m sure the old Deck is not supposed to download faster than the OLED. Further comparison, I have EndeavorOS on my laptop, it gets around 200-300Mbps, but Windows 11 managed a whopping 948Mbps. Am I missing something crucial to Linux network speeds?

      Some AT&T fiber router. I get all appropriate speeds in Windows 11. I’ve read turn off IPV6 for Steam to download faster, but no change for me.

    I’m confused, you listed higher speeds, though you didn’t mention windows(if you did have less speed on windows, probably due to wifi drivers for OLED not exactly up yet)

      I’ve not tried Windows 11 on the OLED yet. DECK: 75Mbs SteamOS, 350Mbps, 650Mbps Windows 11.

      OLED: 200-300Mbps SteamOS.

      I mentioned my laptop because it has a Wi-Fi 6E card, and also gets slower downloads in Linux vs Windows 11.

    I feel like you might be mixing bits and bytes.

    Oled should be faster. My og pulled around 600mbps and my oled does around 900.

      Hmm, I don’t think so. I have the toggle on for display in bits per second. Shadow of the Tomb Raider took about 9 minutes on OLED SteamOS, and 3.5 minutes on OG Deck in Windows 11.

    If you want to saturate a 1Gbps internet connection to the Steam Deck without all the WiFi hassle, pick up a decent USB-C hub with PD and gigabit ethernet, like this one: I’m using one and it’s great for downloading from Steam (or my desktop’s Steam library) via ethernet to my NVME . Going cheap on ebay here. It doesn’t have the DP or third USB-A port of the official dock, but the 2 ports it does have are 10 Gbps.

      I’ve got a USB-C to with gigabit Ethernet, but I’m having vastly different speeds from Wi-Fi. The OLED deck is faster than the OG in SteamOS for sure. With Windows 11 on the OG Deck, it’s faster than the OLED. Is this possibly a operating system question, and not for Steam Deck?

        Sounds feasible. Maybe the Windows drivers are better optimized in some way (utilizes more channels at once or something?).
