Issues with WiFi disconnecting arbitrarily?

Tech Support

For whatever reason, my WiFi connection keeps disconnecting, with no established pattern as far as I can see. It could be an issue with the DNS, because the Deck explicitly says "unable to reach Steam Servers".

I just wanted to get a second opinion before I dig deeper into my Deck or Switch configuration, or open a Support ticket with Steam. Thanks for any feedback. :)

yeah it’s a bug. they’re working on it. if you enable developer mode you can apparently turn off wifi power saving and that solves it (iirc)

It seems that it was fixed by doing this, so thanks! :)

I don't have a deck yet but I've seen others have problems like your. There's apparently a wifi powersaver mode that you can turn off. I also know that the deck doesn't really like 5 band but is perfectly good on 2.5 band

I experienced that twice when I was setting mine up the other day, but not since then. Hopefully it gets resolved permanently soon.
