Yes, it was fixed December of 2023 or January of 2024, if I recall right. Not long after the OLED launched. It was some specific wifi features, mostly wifi 6 features, that would cause the wifi card to malfunction and not work at all until you rebooted. Had to disable the specific wifi features on your router if you wanted to use 5ghz, or stick to 2.4ghz networks. Didn’t usually affect LED decks afaik since they wouldn’t try to use the affected wifi 6 features.
While valve got it fixed in SteamOS not too long after launch, they only recently applied that wifi fix to the SteamOS recovery usb drive. There was over a year where people could still run into the wifi issue if they had to repair their OS from a recovery drive.
