Figured this might be the best thread to ask:

Just got a PS5 and I've noticed that whenever it's on, it absolutely murders my home Internet. My family tells me they can't even get to websites when I have it on. It may just be downloading updates since i don't play online, but I'm not sure.

I have an eero 5 mesh system and it's hardwired into one of the nodes. Originally I just had it on WiFi but changed it thinking it might help, it didn't. The eeros are not on Ethernet backhaul but they are tri-band.

I'm guessing the PS5 is using every resource to download things, but is there any way to change that? The QOS setting on the eero seem limited to a single option to "optimize conference and gaming" that I turned on but didn't change anything. Would port forwarding help at all?
