How to FIX PS5 LAN Cable Keeps Disconnecting From Internet (Best Tutorial)

Do you want to know how to FIX PS5 LAN Cable Keeps Disconnecting from the Internet and it loses the connection or doesn't work! To do this, try using a new CAT 8 Lan cable to get a better fitting connection. Otherwise, try using a toothpick to get a snug fit between your LAN cable and the the PS5. Then try resetting the router, and go to to network on PS5 and change primary and secondary DNS. Then restart your PS5 into the safe mode menu. Then clear the cache and rebuild the database.

I’ve had my LAN cable for 7years and its worked fine with several systems. PS4, PC, Laptops etc. I would like to suggest there is a significant software issue or PS5 connectors are poor. Never had this issue only on the new PS5. Sony should own up to it and issue Hardware replacements or software updates.

[@Tunerfreak407]

Have you spoken to the PS support?

[@josephalicea8092]

Just got my ps5 n I'll Play a game and in minutes I get the disconnect n re connect a couple of times too

[@GABEGRAPES]

Fr my ps5 never did this till randomly one day now it randomly connects to Wi-Fi and I don’t know

[@edwardwalden05]

The issue is the original ps5s have faulty ethernet ports.

[@jommy9814]

So true mate, I’ve went through 3 cables in the space of 2 years and not to mention one of they cables I had for 8 years, absolutely joke so it is

[@danieldeaseweitzelwalker]

These fixes can work, but it's usually the ethernet cable distorting from the heat if you're using wired LAN. The ethernet port on the original PS5 (I don't know about subsequent models) isn't very snug, and when the heat distorts the RJ45 connector, it pulls the contacts away and causes a disconnect/reconnect fault that people think is software, but it's not. I've replaced the cable on mine with a brand new one and the issue stopped until it, too, distorted from heat and I have the issue all over again. Sony didn't think very far ahead when they designed it - just the heat passing by the ethernet cable is ruining the cable itself.

[@Ginkochin]

that explains why this happens to me way more times when i play in summer , is there any solution? Tekken 8 is coming soon and i would love to play it online without interruptions , wifi is a big no no in fighting games , people don't even accept the matches if they see the wifi simbol .

[@danieldeaseweitzelwalker]

@@GinkochinAt this point, I think the best solution is to try to ensure the cable doesn't have tension on it. If it has tension, either left, right, up, or down, it will distort the RJ45 when it heats up. If I had the time, I'd just develop an aluminum jacket/heatsink to prevent it from happening, but I have to believe most people are using WIFI anyway.

[@RKDriver]

Agree on this. Mine only does it when the unit gets very hot in the back and mine is sitting on top of a desk so it's very well ventilated with no dust build up. When it starts doing the disconnect/connect error and I check the back, that ethernet cable is very warm, malleable and moves around in the port easily. It never does the error when the unit is under low temps.

[@senyorlimpiogaming]

i totally agree with this theory. Each time it happens to me, and i reach back to wiggle the cable, its usually pretty warm back there. Now im wondering, would a cooling fan help the issue?

[@ATXNick]

I doubt it brand new ps5. Not used all day completely off not in rest mode. LAN cable issue starts immediately. Will persist for about ten minutes then usually runs fine for the next couple hours of play time

It's the heat coming out of the back of PS5, mine is confined cuz that's the only option I got (no room for TV, soundbar and PS5 on top of the stand). But then I decided to check if I placed the PS5 somewhere else I'd still get the LAN cable disconnecting issue. Guess what? Not a singles time when the PS5 was on a small table I placed right in front of the TV stand, with better air flow. So I'm pretty sure it's all about heating issues.

I just grabbed my old GBA and laid it on top of my LAN cable, that did the job.

[@JustFinax]

What do you mean? Can you explain a little better what you did? Kind regards!

[@omegagilgamesh]

@JustFinax the cable wasn't pressing against the bottom of the input slot well enough, so I grabbed my old Game Boy Advanced, which is basically a square, and laid it on top of the cable, leaning against the PS5 case to keep it from falling over onto the ground. That little bit of extra weight was enough to keep the connection solid. Until my cat got active, when even a little nudge would cause the GBA to fall off. Luckily, my modem's wireless network managed to turn itself back on, eventually, and I didn'thave to do this anymore.,

[@JustFinax]

@@omegagilgameshdo you have your PlayStation 5 vertically or horizontally? Also, did the issue occur again?

Unfortunately there is no way to fix this issue. It's a bug with its system. It has nothing to do with the LAN not being connected well enough. You either have to get a new PS5 or just stick with WIFI connection.

[@hodlcro4dlife661]

I would try unplugging your router and anything connected to your modem then reset your modem first after fully reset now plug everything back in and start your router. I would keep all Ethernet cables the same as well try not to mix up cat5 and cat6 and you don't need cat7 most of cat7 are not backwards compatible. After all that I would get another modem from your ISP. I noticed netgear is more compatible with Spectrum Internet services but to each its own good luck out there.

Which LAN cable would u recommend to use for the PS5? also I have problem so I have my own room and my ps5 and tv are in my room while the router is in the living room. So I currently have bad fps and bad latency when playing online games because I have a wireless wifi connection. So I'm wondering which internet cable to buy to fix the problem, my current router has the speed of 130 Mbps so I'm wondering which cable I should get. And also how to I connect it? from the router to the PS5? or from the router to tv? Like watching tv and using my phone and playing offline games on the PS5 works perfect, The only issue I have is when playing Online games. So any tips on how to fix the issue? or do I need to buy a whole new router to put in my room or is the internet cable enough to solve my problem.

[@SizzleSack55]

I see nobody replied. All you need is a long enough Ethernet cable, so it can reach the router while plugged into PS5. If you have the booster things that plug into outlets, you can also plug in to those, will be better than wifi. Even if it's a 20ft cable, it will still work just the same as a shorter one.

From what I’ve seen the vast majority are experiencing an issue with Sony not with the wire, please test your Ethernet cable on another device before committing to purchasing another cable. In addition to rebuilding database(3rd) I’ve been informed by Sony tech support to force a system update(1st) then clear the cache(2nd) in the safe mode menu. You will need to hold the power button down after each step to do the next one. So far I’ve only had this work temporarily.
