While some improvements to PS5 download speed can be made at no cost, some more effective ways will require some additional investment.
The best ways to increase the download speed of your PS5 by spending money are:. The PS5 can connect to the internet via a wireless connection or a cable plugged directly into your router or adapter. In this portion of our PS5 download speed guide we'll explain how to improve the download speed on your PS4 by paying for a service or a product.
These might be pricey, but are guaranteed results. By far the best thing you can do to improve your PS5's download speed is to connect the console to your router or network via a cable.
Even if your PS5 is close to your WiFi router, plugging in a network cable is guaranteed to increase its download speed. If your router is in a different part of the house, then you don't need to pull a complicated line of ethernet cables to get the job done.
Instead, you can invest in Powerline Network Adapters. These clever devices let you connect to your router via your electricity cables, so you just need to plug into any room in your house then attach a cable that way.
If you've been using the same old internet connection for many years now, you might want to switch to a better faster service. If you're looking to download huge files via your PS5, you're going to want Fibre Broadband, which many providers also now include an Ultra-fast option giving you download speeds of over Mbps.
Check if your current provider offers this service and if it's available in your area. In one, the game Styx: Shards of Darkness idled in its title screen. That shrank the receive window to 7 KB. Snellman stresses this the artificial limit "appears to only apply to PSN downloads" — i. And, notably, running the console's built-in speed test will not reveal the reduced download capacity. For me, this is one of the most maddening things, to see a download is taking forever, to check what is wrong with my network connection and be told everything is A-OK.
A receive window of 7 KB "is an incredibly low value; it's basically going to cause the downloads to take times longer than they should," Snellman explains. Running an app such as Netflix or Spotify narrowed the receive window to KB, which is still "a 5x reduction in potential download speed," and playing an online match in a networked game closed it down to the 7 KB threshold. Putting the PlayStation 4 into its rest mode "had no effect," he writes.
Complicating matters is that the PlayStation 4 doesn't always make it clear what programs are running. All internet routers are not created equal. Old router models can actually impact the quality of your gaming experience, even when using ethernet.
There are routers specifically designed to improve gaming that includes Quality of Service QoS features. Routers with QoS features are often referred to as gaming routers. Routers come with either a 2. The 5GHz band allows you to have faster Wi-Fi speeds and more reliability than a router with only the 2. Upgrading to 5 GHz should help speed up PS4 downloads. This is best practice with any router, but it is even more important with a 5 GHz band.
Routers are only able to handle a certain amount of speed. You can confirm the maximum speed supported by your router by googling the router make and model, which is generally printed on the back of the device. Consider all of the different things you and your household use the internet for to decide which speeds will be best for you:. If there are a lot of people in your house gaming, streaming, or downloading content at the same time, your connection might not be strong enough.
Whether or not it impacts you is entirely dependent on range. I have a Nighthawk router and my PS4's wifi still has a much slower connection than my other devices in the same room Chromebook, my cell phone, PS3, , which is just a couple of walls and about 30 feet from the router. That's not a cheap router. The PS4 is the issue.
More specifically, it's wifi signal pickup degrades with range MUCH faster than most devices. If you're really close to your router, nothing seems wrong It's when you put some distance in there that the disparity vs. The best fix is to get one of those outlet wifi range extenders and plug your PS4 into it via the extender's ethernet port setup the PS4 as a wired connection.
That way, you're effectively using the extender as a high-power external antenna. It makes a HUGE difference. It also proves that the issue is the PS4's antenna. I have the same problem so does my brother we both have launch systems and the newest netgear router!
You guys and gals need to stop acting as if your situation is the same as everyone's else. It's a matter of fact it isn't and, there may be way more variables in play then in your current but simular situation you have to take in account for every variable not just the ones that pertain to you.
I use an apple router new AirPort Extreme. One of the best damn pieces of hardware I've ever purchased. Extraordinarily strong wifi signal. Ha I love this I get good sppeds maybe your router, listen psn are servers vary I can confirm after many years the PSN network are horrid for downloads here in UK not the router specially when places like steam gives me better downloads. Plus psn read your connection wrong to varify that go to any speedtest sites match it up.
They need region based servers. Btw I started with 2mb down and kbps up gone threw the years with increased speeds now have 80 down and 17mb up still read horrible on psn ive had D links linksy netgears now have all in ones doesnt make differnce. Hardwire is best for stable connection I agree there but wifi not bad the closer you are to your modem or hub. That doesn't always help. On a Mbps connection, I get 60Mbps max on my PS4 most of the time it's around 35 , and it's wired. There's supposedly a cap on the download speed on the PS4.
Dunno why you are getting downvoted, you're right. I'm plugged in on a Mbps connection and get only half that. Thats more than enough for online gaming. Are you only comparing download speeds to PSN to download speeds from other sources on your laptop? You need to compare apples to apples, because different sites will have different performance due to location, and can also impose throughput caps. But if you're seeing 60Mbps down, you're not suffering like some people are suffering.
Before I ran my PS4 to an external antenna plugged it into a wireless range extender , I was only getting Mbps.
Nothing supports 5G since its not even released, I think you mean AC wifi which supports a Gigabit speed which is what 5G is working towards. I've run the test speeds and 5ghz is much faster then 2. Well there's a difference between 5ghz band and calling it 5G internet, Yes you're right the 5GHZ band is faster but has less range than 2. You have to just actually watch while downloading to see what speeds you're actually getting. Another tip: downloads seem to pickup a ton of speed when the PS4 is in sleep mode.
No clue. But I've had downloads with 1 hour left finish in 5 minutes after I put my PS4 to sleep.
