How to FIX Lag spikes on PS5 Pro with Internet Setting (Easy Method)
23Lag spikes on the PS5 Pro can often be minimized or resolved by optimizing your internet settings. Here’s a detailed guide to troubleshoot and fix lag spikes:
1. Use a Wired Connection (Best Option)
If possible, connect your PS5 Pro directly to your router using an Ethernet cable.
Wired connections are more stable and less prone to interference than Wi-Fi.
2. Optimize Wi-Fi Settings (If Using Wireless)
Position Your Router: Place the router close to your PS5 Pro, ideally in the same room, with minimal obstructions.
Use the 5GHz Band:
Log in to your router and ensure the PS5 Pro connects to the 5GHz Wi-Fi network instead of 2.4GHz.
5GHz offers faster speeds and less interference but works best over shorter distances.
Channel Selection:
Use a Wi-Fi analyzer app on a phone or PC to find less congested channels, then set your router to use those.
3. Change DNS Settings
Switching to faster DNS servers can improve response times:
Google Public DNS:
Primary: 8.8.8.8
Secondary: 8.8.4.4
Cloudflare DNS:
Primary: 1.1.1.1
Secondary: 1.0.0.1
Set these in Settings - Network - Set Up Internet Connection - Manual DNS.
4. Enable Quality of Service (QoS)
Log in to your router’s settings (consult the manual for instructions).
Enable QoS and prioritize the PS5 Pro’s connection to reduce lag caused by other devices on the network.
5. Reduce Network Traffic
Disconnect unnecessary devices using the same network, especially those streaming or downloading large files.
Schedule updates and large downloads on your PS5 for off-peak times.
6. Check NAT Type
Ensure you have an Open NAT (Type 1 or Type 2):
Go to Settings - Network - View Connection Status to check your NAT type.
If it’s Type 3, enable UPnP in your router settings or manually forward ports:
PSN Ports: 80, 443, 3478-3479, 3480 (TCP & UDP)
Restart the router and PS5 after making changes.
7. Update Router Firmware
Check if your router has any firmware updates and install them for improved stability.
8. Run a Speed and Latency Test
Go to Settings - Network - Test Internet Connection.
Ensure you have at least 15 Mbps download speed and 5 Mbps upload speed.
If latency is consistently high, contact your ISP to discuss upgrading your plan or resolving connection issues.
9. Reset Network Settings
On your PS5, go to Settings - Network - Reset Internet Settings, then reconfigure your connection.
