Here's steps for people who don't know how to uninstall the wireless usb drivers :Ġ.) Before starting, make sure you have either your wireless CD on hand, or backup your drivers just in case it doesn't work or screws up in some way. Here is the link for people who know how to uninstall their current wireless adapter drivers, and install the 'new' one! I don't want anyone else to go through this bullshit if they don't have to, so please try this out if you're having the same problems I was. Steam loaded up and downloaded the update almost instantaneously. Finally I looked up 'wireless steam download not working linksys' on google and found a fix.Īpparently, the drivers I installed on the linksys CD I got was newer than the ones on the linksys website, so I downloaded the older driver and deleted the linksys drivers on my PC and installed the 'older' drivers restarted. So I spend around 5 - 7 hours trying every single fix in the book, to the point where I : deleted steam, reinstalled my drivers, tried chaging my firewall settings, etc etc etc. I was never able to download, update games, or even update steam! If I tried loading up the game and downloading it, it would say that the game download was corrupted I even verified the integrity of the cache on tf2 and it didn't work!! I had disconnecting issues and most of the time, my download speed would be complete crap and randomly spike back up. The problem is, if I tried downloading an update via steam, like tf2 or any other game it would download for a second or two and completely stop after. Steam was working perfectly until I moved into a motel with wireless internet so I had to buy a linksys ae6000 wireless usb adapter and installed the driver via the CD in the box.
