In an era where Games require constant updates and file sizes for games are huge, a slow internet connection is torture because it's a constant wait for downloads. There is no quick fix for poor internet performance other than switching to a better plan or a different provider, these options are there in the first place. However, some claim that there are ways to not only increase but double the download speed in some cases.
This secret trick is not applicable to everyone because some are already using it. That being said, double check that your console is connected to a Wi-Fi network using the 5GHz band and not the 2.4GHz band. The former provides a significant improvement in network speed, which is essential for faster download speeds.
The first step in activating 5GHz is to navigate the PS5 settings menu until you find the network. After clicking it, navigate to Settings and then "Set up an Internet connection." Locate your current network under “Registered Networks”, then click the “Options” button and select “Forget Network.
That concludes the first three steps. Four more to come. Step 4 Press the triangle button to “scan networks”. Identify your network and sign in from here. After connecting to your network, go to Options, select "Wi-Fi Frequency" and set it to 5GHz.
Step Six Go back to the previous screen, then select Connection Status, View Connection Status, and confirm that your PS5 is using 5GHz. The last step is to test the speed using the connection status and test the internet connection to see if they have improved. Of course, your mileage will depend on a variety of factors, and none of these may apply if you're already on 5GHz.
