Pause and resume the download. It sounds silly, but sometimes Steam needs a little nudge to get going again.
Honestly, just plug in an Ethernet cable. WiFi is like trying to catch fish with your bare hands. Ethernet is like using a net.
First off, make sure your Internet connection isn't being hogged by other devices. That Netflix binge can wait until after your download! Also, check Steam's download settings and make sure you've selected the closest server location to you. Sometimes, Steam gets a bit sleepy and choosing a less congested server, even if it's slightly farther away, works wonders.
Pro tip: Avoid downloading during peak hours (like evening time when everyone is online). It's like trying to get a drink at the bar on New Year's Eve. Wait until it's less crowded for better service.
