Hi, i bought a Netgear AC1200 Wifi Adapter for my desktop since the modem is in my brother's room. On speedtest.net, i get a download speed of around 80mbps and upload of around 12mbps. Howver, im trying to download gta V and it is downloading at a constant 1.3 MB/s when it should be around 10MB/s (1MB=8mb). Please Help!!!!!

With steam I have found that I need to change the download location to like Switzerland to get full download speed. I don't know why but the US locations just don't work well for me, constantly start and stop and never get full speed. Might want to try a few different server locations and see if that helps.

first , go to your settings by clicking steam on the top left corner , then chose settings.After that click "Downloads" section

make sure that you don't have any Download restrictions , if it's clear and have no restriction you can also check the Download region and make sure it's at your country or somewhere near you
