Can’t connect to wifi
Can’t connect to WiFi it just says connecting then restarts device and it does this over and over again. I tried the developer trick that didn’t work so I rolled back to the old update and that made it worse now I can’t even use the steam deck because I need to connect to an internet to finish setting up the device this is a load of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

probably drivers
get the correct ones from the mobo mfg, or nic mfg site
never use windows update for drivers

Is it connecting to 2.4 or 5.0 Ghz?

I have seen a couple Laptops come in where the WiFi chipset and driver had some issues and couldn't be resolved without replacing the wifi card. Where if you try to connect to 5Ghz the devices auto resets and gets stuck in a loop scenario. But 2.4Ghz worked just fine and stable

This can also happen when the network is configured for WPA3 and your connecting device does not support that

could be the router also be using wpa3 if the wifi nic only supports wpa2

wpa3 is supposed to be backwards compatible wpa2 devices, but iv seen a few things that use wpa2 will not connect to wpa3

use another device or wired and log into the router, set it to wpa2, then try again
