Does the Steam Deck need WiFi to work?
WiFi isn't a must-have for the Steam Deck to work, but it sure makes life easier. For offline play, you're golden once your games are preloaded. Just don't expect to download new games or get the latest patches without WiFi.

Actually, Steam Deck's charm is its independence from WiFi for gaming. Download your games over WiFi first, then play offline to your heart's content!
Nope, the Steam Deck doesn't require WiFi to function after you've downloaded your games. Think of it as a portable gaming library; once the games are on there, you can play most of them anywhere, WiFi or not. That said, you'll need WiFi for initial game downloads, updates, and online features.
WiFi? Only if you're downloading or updating games. Otherwise, Steam Deck works just fine offline. Perfect for long trips where WiFi is a dream.
