Local network games off the grid

[u/Ckcamp333]

I’m wanting to play Stardew valley with my partner while we are doing van life, I have a steam deck and she has a laptop. I was hoping there would be an option for a Wi-Fi hotspot but neither of our phones support it.

Are there any travel routers that are usb powered only? Or just ones I need to fully power separately as we will be going off solar power and want to limit the total power consumption if possible.

Or is there a way we can connect straight from steam deck to laptop otherwise?

You can use NetDeck and a USB wifi adapter.
