Hello, does anyone else also have WiFi 6e setup that could share your download speeds? It was the first thing I tested and I was disappointed to see it be only about 20MBps faster than the LCD deck. I peaked around 55MBps but I expected faster like my wired pc can reach 100+MBps. I know WiFi will always be slower but Linus tech tips managed to hit around 70-80.

I have 1Gig fiber optic internet and I’m using the eero 6 pro and can confirm the deck is getting 6ghz connection. I have my deck right next to the router as well. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal?

    I’m sitting directly below my 5G router (one floor up) and getting consistently fast speeds (400-500).

    I’m currently in the midst of this too. I have a TP Link Deco X60 system. I’m starting to think this might be an issue with the OLED Deck and this router, but only when downloading from steams servers. I installed the Chrome browser and ran a speed test over Ethernet and WiFi. I am getting close to gigabit over Ethernet, so the issue is not local networking related. It must be a deck configuration.

    I found this post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/s/dse3x7hzRj

    And when I followed it the speeds increased massively, but this only persists until you restart unless you create the config file (I assume, not done it yet). I also enabled developer mode and used the console from the settings instead of using the browser in desktop mode as this post instructs.

    All very annoying, but hopefully this will filter up to Valve and they can push out a patch to fix this.

    Same issue here. UniFi 6E network. Typically getting 100-200 mbps downloads with OLED when ROG Ally is getting 600

    what worked for me was changing the steam server to another country. New Zealand worked best for me. Now my downloads are faster than shadowfax when he showed Gandalf the meaning of haste
