Since this issue frustrated me, I decided to do some research into the cause of it and some potential fixes. The broadband speed doesn’t appear to be the cause! To my surprise, my phone was getting over 200mb up. My phone is using WiFi of course and the PS5 is using a wired connection. Before going through the hassle of this, I decided to run a speed test using my phone.
The immediate conclusion is that your router will need a restart. Even though it is expected for download speeds to be faster than upload, getting 800mb down and 10mb up on a gigabit connection is pretty damn bad.
Open your PlayStation 4’s menu and navigate to Settings.When I last ran a speed test on the PlayStation 5, I get a pretty good download speed but my upload speed was awful. The newest version of the operating system will patch any security flaws and can also improve download speeds. Sony routinely releases updates that address problems within the console. Make sure you have the latest version of the PlayStation operating system. Both single-player and multiplayer games can slow down the connection.Īnything involving a connection to the internet or sending large amounts of data will prioritize the download, and your gaming experience might suffer too. When the PlayStation is downloading a new game or file, avoid playing anything on the console. Even placing the PlayStation 4 inside a cabinet can block the connection, and its download speeds will suffer. Place the PlayStation 4 and the router in the same room with a direct line of sight for better results. If your PlayStation and router are in different rooms with multiple walls between them, you’ll see low speeds, sometimes less than a megabit per second. Move Your PlayStation Closer to The Routerĭistance and interference greatly diminish the PlayStation’s Wi-Fi speed. A hardwired connection is more stable and circumvents the faulty Wi-Fi card in many of the earliest models of the PlayStation 4. An Ethernet cable is typically several times faster than Wi-Fi.
