PS 5 not connecting to WiFi

[Kennynii]

Trying to connect PS 5 on the WiFi. It's showing connected on extender when i check setting, but showing failed on the console. So the PS 5 is not able to get on the internet. Any idea why this is?

Hi @Kennynii 

Does it work without the extender? Have you tried rebooting your router & resetting the network on the PS5?

[Kennynii]

I tried rebooting the router a few times but nothing. It stayed on the extender for a while and then it was listed on the main WiFi.

Thanks @jamesn123

@Kennynii trying to play games over poor WiFi is always going to be a poor experience even if you can getvit to work. Assuming ethernet cables are not practical have you looked into bbuying a powerline networking kit? These come with adapters that use the mains cables to carry the data. They need not be expensive but are a far better connection than wifi for gaming in most homes. Plan to get roughly 30% of the rated speeds in practice and plug the adapters into wall sockets and you should not be disapointed.
