Hey there! I'm trying to figure out how to fix my internet issues. I have a 350MB media package and can download Steam or Origin at 40Mbps. But once I start gaming, the connection drops quickly—often only about 2MB per download. I have an MSI afterburner, plus plenty of CPU, GPU, and RAM. Any tips or solutions would be really appreciated!

It seems the main challenge is related to your internet speed rather than the computer itself. Are you currently playing an online game?

Visit Steam and navigate to Settings. You can adjust your preferences within the Downloads area.

Your game may also send priority packets to signal the router about the importance of its data. This feature is often referred to as POL (Priority over LAN).

Only through Steam streaming does this occur. He refers to situations where game performance decreases once it becomes available for streaming, not during the actual stream.

Sorry, I need to emphasize "Allow downloads while streaming" too.

This applies specifically to Steam games. He mentioned a lower download speed, not a full stop, since that would trigger a different behavior. The problem seems to stem from your router favoring this game over others, making it slightly slower.
