Hey y’all,

Just got my hands on the OLED, my first Steam Deck. Right away, I notice my download speeds are way slower than I’m used to.

Steam on PC: 100-120 MB/s download speed

Steam Deck on Wi-Fi: 5-20 MB/s Steam Deck on Ethernet: 25-50 MB/s

I have gigabit internet, so the 120 Megabytes/s download speed from my PC is right on the money.

Running a speed-test, there doesn’t seem to be an issue as the speeds are where they should be:

Speed test on PC: 950 Mb/s (perfectly fine)

Speed test on Deck’s Wi-Fi: 650 Mb/s (acceptable) Speed test on Deck’s Ethernet: 930 Mb/s (perfectly fine)

Troubleshooting: Beyond the ol’ turn it on and off again, I’ve been perusing old posts and have attempted to “limit” my download speeds to 10,000,000 Kb/s, as well as disabling the Developer’s “Wifi Power Management.” But nothing has worked, so now I’m here to make my own post.

Anyone know of other solutions? Does the Steam Deck simply not surpass these speeds? Ideally I’d like to be getting around the same download speed as my PC when connected—120 MB/s—as opposed to my Deck’s current max of 50 MB/s. And same for Wi-Fi. With the Deck’s 650 Mb/s speed-test, I should at least be getting a max download speed of around 80 MB/s, but not even the connected speed is getting that.

Thanks!
