PS5 tethering is necessary for many users who don’t have strong home internet. Being able to pair the PlayStation 5 with an Android or iPhone can save the day when it comes to big downloads on playing online without lag. Here’s how to tether a phone to PS5 and fix errors.

Why is PS5 tethering not working?

PS5 Tethering Not Working Fix

PS5 tethering not working can be for a number of reasons. The next-gen console works best with a stable wired home internet connection using an Ethernet cable. The next best option is a stable wireless connection over Wi-Fi.

The main reason for PS5 tethering not working is due to how the PlayStation 5 interacts with Android and iPhone devices.

In an ideal world, users could plug in their phone using USB for a physical connection. Unfortunately, PS5 tethering is limited to wireless connections. This means the iPhone or Android is wirelessly accessing the internet via mobile data, and the PS5 is then wirelessly connected to the internet via the phone. This can make connections weak.
