Why is the Steam Deck Downloading So Slow?
Slow downloads on the Steam Deck? Check your Wi-Fi connection first! Make sure you're not too far from your router. Also, other devices hogging the bandwidth could be the culprit.

Are you downloading during peak hours? Try downloading early in the morning or late at night when fewer people are online. Trust me, it makes a difference.
I had the same issue, turns out it was my ISP dragging its feet. Run a speed test to see if you're getting the speeds you're supposed to.
Could be Steam's servers having a bad day. Sometimes, certain servers get overloaded. Try switching your download region in Steam settings.
Ugh, my Steam Deck was slow to download too. But switching to a 5GHz Wi-Fi connection instead of 2.4GHz made it fly! Give it a shot.
