Internet Issue

[Shaun]

Ok, I know everyone has been complaining about the WiFi going down and up, but how about this one? I’ve installed Steam on my HI8 in Win10 and am trying to download a game. I’ve disabled the Bluetooth radio to ensure there’s no conflicts with Wireless. The download will start great, but drop to 0 Kbps after a short time (15 seconds or so) and sometimes it will pick up again to a few 100 Kbps a second and dip down again to 0. Disabling WiFi and using a USB Ethernet adapter does the same thing. I have a 50 Mbps service and tests show that it isn’t a full pipe issue. It’s almost like it loses Internet access, but I can still do everything on the Internet, just the downloads stop. Any advice or anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

I will also point out that I’m installing it to a 64GB MicroSD formatted in NTFS.

Normally even on my desktop pc i encounter that download stopping issue on steam…

Check if you encounter the same issue when you download a game on the emmc memory(search for a small game). If you get a decent download speed and fewer interruptions your micro sd “controller”  might be a bit faulty. Or try copying a big file from emmc memory to the sd card and see how that handles. If it works fine with the big file, steam servers might be the problem 🙂
