My PS5 downloads were super slow until I moved it closer to my Wi-Fi router. Walls and distance can really mess with your signal.
Sometimes, PlayStation Network (PSN) server issues can cause slow downloads. Check the [PSN Service Status](https://status.playstation.com/) to see if there are any outages.
Hot take: Download speeds aren't always about your setup. Sometimes, Sony's servers just get overloaded with traffic, especially during big game releases!
If you have multiple devices using the same network, bandwidth gets divided. Try pausing other downloads and streams to speed things up.
