Netgear r7000p & PS5 speed
Recently purchased a PS5 as well as recent upgrade from Xfinity (Comcast) to 600Mbps internet plan. After running a lot of speed tests on phones, laptops, iPads and PS5, the PS5 is maxing out at 188...
rdsandjs I have the r7000 and I'm having the same issue. My download speed with my old router was 285mbps, but with this new one I'm getting 140mbps. My other devices have faster speeds on wifi. Have you found a solution to this yet? So far I haven't gotten any help from customer service.
- I ended up getting rid of the r7000p and got me an ASUS router. I get close to gigabyte on all my wired devices inuding my ps5. If you just got yours, return it.
- Hey so I have the same r7000p and I already swapped it out for a new one but still only get 175mbps download and around 100mbps upload if I’m lucky on wired. Checked different cables same thing, all other devices wired and wireless have better speeds, wifi still not overly fast but ok. Even with PS5 being right next to router I still got under 200. If I bypass the router I got 900mbps upload was only 20 but maybe psn was limiting it, but the speed was 4-5 times more. Can you tell me what Asus router you went with? I want to go get one today, I saw a couple say ps5 compatible but which one did you get to have correct speeds?
Unfortunately I never found a solution. Admittedely, my kids are the one who play the PS5 so for the time being I'm just dealing with the 175~MB download speeds. Their online gaming experience has not been negatively impacted. Eventually I'll just replace the router but it works very well for all other devices in our home.
