Every time i go to download a steam game it starts downloading at 5mb/s then slowly goes down until it goes below 1mb/s and then my internet connection crashes and i must unplug my adapter and plug it back in. The internet does not shut down on any other device only my PC. I have a Belkin n300 wireless usb adapter and a copy of windows 7 64 bit.

i found that switching my wireless mode from 802.11b/g/n to 802.11b/g seemed to have partially fixed my problem it make it a bit slower (around 2 - 3mb/s) but it is better than nothing

I tried lowering the limit all the way down to 1000kb/s but the issue still persists

yeah i probably will but i find it really weird that it does this only to games downloaded on steam and not any other applications like the blizzard app or google chrome.
