Internet dies when downloading from Steam - Lemmy.world

I’ve had a weird issue with Steam lately. Whenever I go to download a game on my pc, it will download fine, but I will lose internet for everything else on my network until the download is complete or I stop the download. At first I thought this might be an issue with my ISP, but this doesn’t happen when downloading a game from my Steamdeck.

Network card may be giving up the ghost in an unusual way.
