tired of them slow steam bridge, a fan of gaming laptop PCs has some tips on how to fix PDA download speed. Don’t let the technical jargon confuse you because it doesn’t take a technical genius to follow these six easy steps.
Reddit user Gawdamn69 gave step-by-step instructions on what you can do to improve the speeds listed on his Steam deck. One of those steps is to put your device into desktop mode, which is much easier and cooler when you’re using the best Steam Deck.
We haven’t tested this ourselves yet, but it’s easy enough to undo the steps if you run into any issues. However, you should follow the advice with some trepidation. This is basically a “your mileage may vary” situation, as some of the comments point out other limitations. You may not see much of an improvement if you have a poor internet connection at home, and those using anything other than the best Steam Deck SD card may have other issues that slow things down.
Additionally, Gawdamn69 advises the following:
- Go to Settings > Downloads and set “Limit bandwidth to:” to any number over 1000.
- Put your Steam platform into “Desktop Mode” by pressing the Steam button, selecting “On”, then selecting “Switch to Desktop”.
- On the Linux desktop, click the Wi-Fi logo, find your Internet connection, click the left trackpad, and select “Configure Wi-Fi settings.”
- In Wi-Fi Partition Mode, go to Infrastructure > BSSID > Restrict device > set to wlan0.
- In “IPv4” > “Auto” > set “Other DNS” to 8.8.8.8.
- restart your device
After that, you just need to start downloading and test to see if the solution offers higher download speeds overall. The user says that he has noticed significant improvements, but that is not a guarantee for everyone.
While the Steam Deck is a popular mobile gaming PC, it’s by no means perfect. Fortunately, there are people who seem to be good at things. There’s always a helpful community that can advise you on how to get the most out of your portable power, from fixing noisy fan flickers to notifying you of an unacceptably full SSD.
