I'm experiencing really slow download speeds on my PS5—like 5 hours for a 1GB update! My other systems aren't having any issues, so I'm confused about what might be causing this. If anyone has suggestions to speed it up, I'd really appreciate it!

Have you checked if you're on the 5GHz Wi-Fi band? It can make a big difference in speed. To switch to it, just go to your PS5 settings, find Network, and look for the option to Set Up Internet Connection. If your router supports it, connect to the 5GHz band and see if that helps your download speeds!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely give that a shot. I think I have to wait for my current download to finish first, though. Appreciate the help!
