Internet keeps cutting out during downloads

So I've been having this problem where whenever I try to update something large (Like Rust and Arma 3), the internet cuts out and the download won't work anymore, as well as any other internet-based applications. Anything I can do to fix this?

Does your whole internet cut out? Meaning also on other devices?
Get a router that isn't crap.

(and as user before mentioned: reduce download speed for a temporary fix)

If the room is warm and the router is cheap it could be overheating, put a fan on it (router, modem or both) and see if that helps. disclaimer - experience with a Tenda router...

I'm using home internet, yes.

No; is the PC connected to the home network via Ethernet Cable or connected via Wireless
You don't know the difference?
