How do I troubleshoot PlayStation issues?

Test your internet connection
Go to Settings > Network > Test Internet Connection on your PlayStation. Verify both internet and PSN connectivity.
2
Restart your console
Fully power off your PlayStation (not rest mode), wait 30 seconds, then restart. This clears temporary network glitches.
3
Check for system software updates
Outdated firmware can cause connection issues. Check Settings > System Software Update to ensure you're on the latest version.

Try a wired connection
