A6210 - Steam scheduling downloads/Uplay not downloading
I recently purchased this wirless adapter and have been experiencing issues while downloading files from Steam and UPlay.
Steam will download the file for 5 seconds at which point it goes into a scheduled state while Uplay will once again download for a couple of seconds and will then display a error message advising it failed to download.
The weird thing is if I am watching a video on youtube both Steam and uPlay download files absolutely fine. It is almost as if the video is keeping a stable connection which is allowing the download.
I have tried:
- Placeing the adapter in both USB 2.0 and 3.0 slots - same issue
- Turned off AntiVirus - same issue
- Reinstalled both Steam and Uplay - same issue
- Changed settings in Steam (download location/throttling downloads) - same issue
- Reinstalled Adapter drivers - same issue
I know these issues have been reported before but I was wondering if a driver update maybe coming out soon to rectify this.

Hi MaxPower22,
1. What is the driver version of the adapter?2. What is OS of your computer?
3. Have you tried installing it on a different computer and check the Steam download?
