I noticed that despite having what I consider to be a fine WiFi connection, my PS5 download speed is still pretty abysmal at only 3.6Mbps. Can anyone suggest why this might be happening?

It could be worth checking how many devices are connected to your network. Sometimes, if there are too many devices, it can throttle your PS5's speed. Also, think about your PS5's location; if there are walls or other obstacles, that could hinder your signal. Moving it closer to the router may help!
How far is your PS5 from the modem? Also, are you using a wired connection? That can make a big difference in speed!
For the best download speed, try connecting your PS5 directly to the router with an ethernet cable. If you're stuck on WiFi, make sure you minimize other internet usage on your network while downloading. Being too far from the router or having walls in between can also cause issues!
Have you double-checked your internet connection? Sometimes the problem might be with the service itself rather than the PS5. A quick test with another device can help confirm that!
Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely try moving it closer to the router.
