Ps5 issues

So basically my PS5 has issues playing online games. Whenever I play games like Overwatch or Marvel Rivals, other players will freeze, teleport, or move around erratically. My own character doesn’t really rubber-band.

The weird thing is that I also have a PC that’s actually farther away from the router (still in the next room), and it plays the same online games with no lag at all.

I tested the PS5 with an Ethernet cable and everything worked perfectly. No teleporting, no lag, and even the PlayStation Store loaded much faster.

On Wi-Fi, my PS5 gets around 295 Mbps download/upload, uses the 5 GHz band, and has NAT Type 2.

Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be a PS5 Wi-Fi issue, a Spectrum router issue, interference, or something else? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
