So I’ve had a regular steam deck since launch, and I’ve never dealt with the 5ghz WiFi issue. Yesterday I got my new oled model, and it refuses to connect to the 5ghz WiFi. It works with the 2.4, but not the 5. I’ve tried the power save setting, and still no luck. I really don’t want to send it back, but the download speed on the 2.4 is horrendous. Any ideas how to fix this easily?
Just bind it exclusively to the 5ghz if you have separate ssid’s. That’s what I do. If you have a single ssid then 2.4ghz will often win out.
The 2.4 is the only one it will connect to. If I even try to use the 5G at this point I have to hard reset or it just won’t connect to the WiFi at all.
