5GHz channels. Unfortunately, Ps4 is limited to the 2.4GHz channel. Which is more susceptible to noise(interference). One of the few similarities the consoles have is the 500-gigabyte hard drive. Even though this seems like an enough storage to last a life time, it does not. With today’s modern games that 500 gigabits will be used faster than Formula 1 car.
