Persistent Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues on ROG Ally X (Bazzite OS & SteamOS)
Hey everyone,
I’ve been running into serious Wi-Fi connectivity issues on my ROG Ally X with both Bazzite OS and SteamOS.
No matter what I do, the Wi-Fi works for a few minutes and then drops or slows to a crawl—especially when trying to connect to Steam servers. This happens with both OSes, even after clean installs.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
Dual-booting windows with both Bazzite OS or SteamOS
Running only one OS at a time Bazzite OS or SteamOS
Disabling Secure Boot and Fast Boot on all occasions
Performing full shutdowns before installing Bazzite OS or SteamOS
Disabling hibernate before installing Bazzite OS or SteamOS
Ensuring latest OS images and updates for both Bazzite OS or SteamOS
Still, the problem persists.
Has anyone else run into this with the Ally X? Could it be related to the Mediatek MT7922 Wi-Fi chip or a firmware/driver compatibility issue? im a novice to linux and computers so im not sure how to update drivers but will consult with chat gpt. also is it possible that it is due to having the windows 24H2 which i have heard can bork things when moving to linux?
Would love to hear any workarounds or driver fixes that worked for you. Thanks in advance guys
