PS5 connection issue

a week ago

Tags: #Network Connectivity

G'day, I got new wifi extender today (tp link axe5400) I'm having issues connecting my PS5 to the network. I've tried all different bands 2.4, 5 and 6GHz, some tend to connect but have very low download speeds 18kbs.

As soon as I remove the password from the 5GHz band the ps5 connects and caps out my download speed. I've tried using different security protocols (not all) on the extender but still run into the painfully slow download speeds.

Does anyone have a viable solution I don't want to run my extender with no password.

All my other devices work fine. With or without security settings.

Hi, welcome to our community.

You may check the exact model from the back label of the range extender and share us.

Did you set the same SSID for different wireless bands for the range extender and your main router?

Can your PS5 connect to different wireless bands of your main router properly and does the speed act normally?

BTW, as I know, sometimes port forwarding needs to be take for PS5 for internet access or online game.

Thank you and best regards.

I have exactly the same issue on the same extender used under easymesh with a GE800 gaming router. My PS5 refuses to download above 10-11Mbps and struggles to connect. Clearly something is going on as my S24 connects fine to the extended verified in the TP link app and sees 85% of the available download speed. It is clearly a problem between the extender and PS5. I was considering purchasing the new wifi 7 tri band extender but if this will just happen on that as well I'm not likely to waste 200 plus dollars to recreate the same issue I already have.
