Your system information

  • Steam client version: 1702079146
  • SteamOS version: 3.5.7
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Opted into SteamOS beta?: N
  • Have you checked for updates in Settings > System?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When the Steam Deck is connected to an external display and to Ethernet (I.e through a dock/hub), then receiving a WOL packet should result in the external display being used instead of the deck’s.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Plug deck to a dock
  2. Turn on external display
  3. Put deck to sleep
  4. Send a wake-on-lan packet to the dock MAC address
  5. See the deck display being used instead of the external display

Was someone able to get WOL to work with a UGREEN USB-C Hub on steamdeck?
