The Steam Deck fails to establish a connection with your home Wi-Fi when in gaming mode.
You're experiencing connection issues with your new Steam Deck OLED when trying to link it to your flat's ORBI router. It seems the device struggles in gaming mode or other modes, especially after a cold start. The problem appears to be persistent even after resetting the system. You mentioned it works perfectly when hotspot is off and when connecting from desktop mode after a cold start. Consider checking the USB cable, ensuring both devices are powered on correctly, and verifying that your router's settings allow for multiple device connections. If the issue continues, you might need to reset the router or consult its manual for troubleshooting steps.
I just bought an OLED Steamdeck and am facing issues linking to my Orbi mesh Wi-Fi. I attempted a desktop connection but couldn't get through. It works fine with my iPhone hotspot.
