I accidentally damaged the WiFi module on my Steam Deck OLED, and since replacing it isn’t straightforward, I’d like to know if anyone has successfully used a WiFi dongle with their Steam Deck. Any tips or experiences would be appreciated! Thanks!
1 Answer
I haven’t tried this myself, but I think you can use a USB WiFi dongle that’s compatible with Linux. Just plug it in and maybe boot into desktop mode to connect to your Wi-Fi. Once it’s set up, it should save the settings, and you can switch back to game mode without an issue!
