I just got my Steam Deck OLED, and it just won’t connect to my internet. All my other devices connect fine, including my LCD Steam Deck, but the OLED just won’t. I’ve tried it with both my home internet and my phone’s hotspot. It was happening during setup, too, but after multiple restarts I eventually got it connected to my phone’s hotspot long enough to finish updates, but it hasn’t been able to connect to either network since. The networks won’t even show up as options to connect to sometimes. Does anyone else have any experience with this? I’ve been looking around and trying things other people have said and not of them have worked.

I’ve tried:

  1. setting IPv6 to automatic and tried disabling it

  2. Turning off WI-FI power management

  3. Forgetting the SSID and manually entering the info

  4. splitting up my network to separate SSID’s for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, neither worked

    So just had this problem, I was using my Deck all day and after leaving it in sleep then waking it up, it refused to connect to WIFI or even see any networks at one point. This is definitely a bug.

    I did manage to fix it though (for now), I was running the preview channel build and switched back to stable and now it connects just fine.

    If you’re running anything other than stable, switch to the stable build. If you’re not and have access to a dock and ethernet, upgrade to the beta channel and see if that fixes it. If it doesn’t work on beta, go back to stable and see if that works.
