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:
-
setting IPv6 to automatic and tried disabling it
-
Turning off WI-FI power management
-
Forgetting the SSID and manually entering the info
-
splitting up my network to separate SSID’s for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, neither worked
So my network was already split into 2.4 and 5G and I connected mine to the 5 when I unboxed it and all was fine for a few hours. I managed to download a handful of games and then powered down. Came back a few hours later and all of a sudden it wouldn’t connect to anything.
As simple as it sounds, I made the SD forget the 5g network and connected it to the 2.4 and restarted it. It’s been working fine ever since
