The nifty trick can triple a gamers’ internet speeds, according to TikToker @cynthiaisdead.
In the video clip, she revealed her connection strength had jumped from 105.4mbps/7.1mbps to 334mbps/11.1mbps in minutes after a simple settings change.
Open the door to higher speeds
Firstly, head to your PS5’s Settings and open Network.
Inside Network will be another Settings option underneath the Connection Status tab.
Select Settings again and click Set Up Internet Connection.
Hover over your home network and a menu will pop-up on the right hand side.
In this menu, press Wi-Fi Frequency Bands.
This will give you the option to change your network frequencies.

PS5s Network settings will be set to Automatic by default.
But you should change it to the 5Ghz option, and select OK.
No luck?
If your PS5 says it doesn’t support the switch to 5Ghz, then it will automatically switch back to the Automatic setting.
Instead, you can try using an Ethernet cable, which plugs a device directly into your Wi-Fi router.
Or, you can try moving your router closer to the console, but away from any ‘Wi-Fi killing’ objects, such as mirrors, smart speakersand fridges.
