Hello to all deck users, I wanted to ask a question here: I'm about to go abroad for work and I've heard reports that the deck doesn't like to work on WiFi networks other than the one it was initially configured for, which I find strange, as I replicated my home internet with the same user and it went through my cell phone's hotspot.

But when I arrive at my hotel, will I have problems connecting to an unknown WiFi even with the passwords given by the hotel?

Thanks

At least it used to be that you sometimes needed to open a browser. Maybe technology has advanced past that now days.

If anyone does run into this (since captive portals vary in their awfulness), it should be solveable by rebooting the SteamDeck into "Desktop Mode" by holding down the power button and picking the option.
