Console cannot hold a stable connection
My PS5 is in the room next to my room which has my WiFi router, my PS5 cannot hold a stable connection without dropping to a slow speed. It will not use the 5ghz band.

Re: Console cannot hold a stable connection
@Alex19912 is there a radiator or similar in the path of the signal from the hub to the console? Loss of the 5GHz band usually happens when there is a dense wall blocking the signal if your home has internal stone walls thst woukd explain the problembut even a thin sheet of metal foil will do the same.
WiFi is never the best connection for gaming is it practical to run an Ethernet cable from the hub to the PS5?
