Comment on [Help] Connection issues when downloading content

Most download speed issues just from people downloading onto an SD card, but yours losing connection to steam servers is very weird. Can you try downloading on someone else’s wifi, or try downloading on a 2.4 Ghz network instead?
You should also try downloading in desktop mode, and if the steam Internet connection drops out, try then using a web browser for speed test/etc and see if things work.
It sounds to me like it might be a faulty wifi card, and it’s stopping working after heavy use. That’s just speculation though, and some of the tests I mentioned above will help eliminate other possibilities.

Downloading via a 2.4GHz wifi set up on the same dd-wrt router seems to be more stable, but also a lot slower.
When downloading via desktop mode, when the connection drops out, I can not access any website using the browser. It seems as if there is an issue with the wifi driver when using 5GHz wifi.

Yeah, I would guess the card is overheating or something similar. Shutdown if it gets overloaded (by downloading too much too quickly), and needs to be reset before it will work again. Probably will need to RMA to fix it
