Why is my computer failing to download all kinds of files on all browsers?

By Joseph Russell

The network itself is brand new and quite fast. Unfortunately bigger files are throwing a 'Network Failure' error after different amounts of time.

Smaller files get the error also but most times are able to finish without error.

My Connection is the following:

Computer with Fritz Wi-Fi Adapter AC 460 -> FritzBox 7590.

I successfully managed to recreate the problem with

  • Multiple Browsers: Edge and Chrome
  • And different Wi-Fi Adapters

Didn't manage to reproduce the problem with my laptop or phone connected to the same router, so it's definitely my momputer.

Anybody has a clue? I spend hours searching the web and even once reinstalled Windows but the problem reappeared after some time.

Most issues as you have can be solved by a TCP/IP Reset / DNS Flush. I have done this for a number of similar issues over the years.

Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator

  1. netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
  2. ipconfig /flushdns
  3. restart the computer and test.

You may also wish to / need to update the Fritz Stick Driver so as to avoid future problems.
