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

    This seems to be a firmware issue connecting to particular wifi 6 chipsets (like in my RT-AX86U Asus router).

    A few solutions:

    1. Connect to 2.4ghz
    2. Turn off 160ghz channel for wifi 6
    3. Change General -> Settings -> 24-hour clock to ON

    Solutions 1 and 2 seem to maybe require a restart before working. I just tested solution 3 and it worked right away. So I’m going with that one right now.
