Restoring the iPhone

I'm trying to restore my iPhone 7 in the Finder app on my mac, but my problem is that I can't download the 5.40-gigabyte update within 15 minutes due to my poor internet connection so the iPhone would automatically exit the restore mode and turn on, can anyone help me with this problem?

Some suggestions, though I can't know how well they apply in your situation:

Connect your computer to the router with an ethernet cable (and probably an adaptor) - this can increase your download speed with some routers
Update your router's firmware - if you don't have the manual, it may be available online
Replace your router or modem (this made a big difference for me, but I had a very old router)
Check out the wifi at a public library. They often have fast wifi, and if you go when they are not busy, you should get a good signal.
