Steam working with mobile data not working with wifi

When i connect to my wifi and open steam, it is showing access denied to steam community with your server. But it is working with my mobile data which is of no use(cannot download any content with it). What is the solution?

What's the exact error message you get? Is it your own wlan or do you live in a dorm or use another one not controlled by yourself?

Access denied. You dont have permission to access "http://store.steampowered.com.dlc....... On this server.
Refference number#18......

I am using my personal wifi.

That's usually a timeout for too many requests. Should last a couple of hours. You can try to get a new IP (either by turning off your router for around five minutes or requesting it in the menu).
But you shoul try to ffin out hat is causing that many requests

Yeah, that sounds like a bad luck kind of thing.

I've only seen it during large sales, IIRC, but it will probably just fix itself in a while.

Could it be that your internet provider (the one you're connecting to through WiFi) is blocking/having trouble connecting to Steam?

Change the DNS settings on your OS to GoogleDNS, and also clear your DNS cache.

If that doesn't help, it's more than likely just because of shared IPv4 addresess.

Sometimes, the issue may resolve on its own.

Wait it out. Such things can happen and the remediation is to wait.

Yeah, that's pretty much it for the most part.

The CDN gets wacky at certain times, and i see the error occasionally.

Change you dns settings to opendns or gooogle dns and reboot. you likely have a bad dns cache
