Are you able to change the channel bandwidth instead? That may help.

Didn't change much changing the bandwith.

Even though my connection was decent on the non DFS 5ghz channels, it seems even better on the DFS 5ghz channels as there is literally no one else in the neighborhood using these channels. Now i'm having second thoughts on using ethernet with decent performance on wifi.

Probably another thing others can look into if their router allows using DFS channels, and you don't live near an airport or somewhere with alot of stuff flying over you that could intefere.

Wired will always give better speeds and higher reliability than even the absolute best WiFi connection, so keep the PS5 wired.

Ended up wiring everything up as wifi was still occasionally stuttery even on empty channels.

Connection is smooth as butter right now.

Pro-tip: in addition to wire anything you can instead of using wifi, try to switch off -not even in rest mode- or disable the wifi of any devices that have wifi (phones, tablets, pc, consoles, smart tvs, smart speakers or smart whatever...) while streaming.

Because they apparently aren't downloading anything may doing stuff in background such as to downlading OS/app/game updates or check out if there are OS/app/game updates, of if you received new mails or notifications in social media, etc. Totally switching off them or disabling wifi you make sure they don't do anything, consume no bandwith, no interferences, keep more channels free and your router can focus on a single communication.

Totally unnecessary if you have a halfway decent router.

On a lot of routers, you can set Quality of Service rules to prioritize devices and/or services. Prioritize Remote Play and the Portal and your problem is solved without having to play WiFi janitor.

Managed to finally snag the portal.

And when it rains it pours.

Ordered in the morining from a retailer who put the delivery date of the 19th, later ps direct restocked and ordered from there as the delivery date should be next week.

Now trying to get the first order cancelled.

Highly recommend hotstock app, no way i would have known when these restocks where happening without it.

Putting together little things she has said and the way she acted when I talked about checking stores for one, I have a feeling she got me one.

Either that or she REALLY doesn’t want me to have one.
