The Steam Deck OLED has had a bug with wifi 6, where higher wifi frequencies would crash the wifi chip requiring a reboot before WiFi would work again.
Specifically some RoG routers and Netgear routers seemed to be the most affected, requiring Steam Deck OLED users to use 2.4Ghz only or to disable WiFi 6 features (like 160mhz or “AX”) to be able to use 5Ghz.
Thankfully this update seems to fix it, I was able to re-enable wifi 6 on my Netgear router and it’s working great.

I had this issue. I shut the thing completely off and set it aside for a while cause I was so annoyed with it. Next time I turned it on, everything was fine like nothing happened. Linux is f-ing weird.
