Looking at the picture above, I don’t know which device I like more: the scary spider-shaped router or the retro-futurist console?
Sony PS5 and ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000: The tests we’ve run
In our test “lab” (it is more like your usual living room), we used the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 wireless router to manage the Wi-Fi network. Our internet connection is capable of downloads of up to 1 Gbps and uploads of up to 800 Mbps, so it didn’t limit the maximum speeds we could achieve with a powerful Wi-Fi 6 router.
ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 is a tri-band wireless router, and we set it up like this:
- The 2.4 GHz band was set to use the old Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) standard with a 40 MHz channel bandwidth.
- The first 5 GHz band was set to use the Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard with an 80 MHz channel bandwidth.
- The second 5 GHz band was set to use the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard with a 160 MHz channel bandwidth.
- Once we were done running all our tests on the three bands above, we switched the 2.4 GHz band settings to use the new Wi-Fi 6 standard and a 40 MHz channel bandwidth.
We connected the Sony PS5 to all the bands emitted by ASUS’s Wi-Fi 6 router, and on each band, we ran Sony’s internet connection test from the PS5 network settings. This test was run three times for each band. We recorded the results and calculated the average speed.
The PS5 internet connection test
We then decided to get the Apex Legends game from the PlayStation Store and record the time it takes to download on each band and Wi-Fi standard.
Downloading Apex Legends from the PlayStation Store
As you can see below, the game has a size of 23.09GB.
How large Apex Legends is
Apex Legends is smaller than many PS5 games but big enough to make a measurement that gives us a good idea of the average download speed you get when using the different Wi-Fi standards.
Sony PS5 on Wi-Fi 6 vs. Wi-Fi 5 vs. Wi-Fi 4, with an ASUS gaming router
First, we analyzed Wi-Fi 6 vs. Wi-Fi 5 connectivity when using the 5 GHz band on the Sony PS5. In Sony’s internet connection test, Wi-Fi 6 improved the download speed by 24% vs. Wi-Fi 5.
Sony PS5 on the 5 GHz band
Downloading Apex Legends on the PS5 was 2 minutes faster when using Wi-Fi 6 vs. Wi-Fi 5. If you want us to do the math, that’s a 17% improvement.
Game download time on the 5 GHz band
We also calculated the average download speed during this transfer and, when using Wi-Fi 6, the average speed was 307 Mbps - very close to the measurements from our previous test. This time though, Wi-Fi 6 provided an improvement of 20% vs. Wi-Fi 5.
Game download speed on the 5GHz band
We then moved to the 2.4 GHz band and compared Wi-Fi 6 with Wi-Fi 4. In Sony’s internet connection test, Wi-Fi 6 delivered a download speed that was 32% faster than on Wi-Fi 4.
