Upgrading the Steam Deck's WIFI - WIFI 5 to WIFI 6E MOD!

If you’re interesting in getting this procedure done on your unit but lack the tools/experience to do so, you can contact me through my website: https://www.slickbuysmodsandrepairs.com/

This was made for individuals thinking about upgrading the WIFI module in their Steam Deck. Within this video are details explaining the temperatures I used, various soldering techniques, and tips. This was done on the original Steam Deck motherboard revision. Upgrading the WIFI on the newer REV C revision is much more challenging.
