Honestly, just plug in an Ethernet cable if you can. Wi-Fi is convenient but Ethernet is like the autobahn for your data.

Wanna make your Steam downloads go zoom? First tip: Check your internet connection, it's the speed demon behind slow downloads. Next, clear that download cache in Steam's settings; it's like a mini detox for your Steam. Also, try changing your download region to a less crowded one, sometimes the digital highway is just too packed. And don't forget to limit any bandwidth-hogging apps; more bandwidth for Steam, faster downloads for you!

Change your download region? Nah, just make sure nothing else is eating up your bandwidth. Most of the time, it's not about where you download from, but how much road your data's got to itself. Plus, wired connections over Wi-Fi always. Speed difference is night and day, believe me.
