Boost Your PS5 Gaming: Switch to 5GHz WiFi for Lag-Free Play
Are you tired of lag and connection issues while playing on your PlayStation 5? We've got a quick and easy solution for you! This short guide will show you how to make sure your PS5 always connects to your 5GHz Wi-Fi network, even if your router has a single SSID that usually defaults to 2.4GHz.
Follow these steps:
On your PS5, go to the Settings menu.
Select Network.
Choose Settings.
Click on Set Up Internet Connection.
Wait for the initial scan to finish.
Press the Options button on your controller to open the advanced menu.
Choose 5GHz under Wi-Fi Frequency Bands.
Your PS5 will re-scan for networks on the 5GHz band—give it a few seconds.
Select your desired network and complete the setup as usual.
That's' It!
