PS5 players encountering the Wolters–Peason connection error in Call of Duty have a new, simple workaround shared by the community. Running the PS5’s network speed test through Settings > Network > Connection Status > Test Internet Connection forces the console to refresh its network connection. After this step, players report immediate success reconnecting to Call of Duty without needing to restart routers or reinstall the game. This fix, surfaced on the r/CODBlackOps7 subreddit, offers a less disruptive way to resolve a persistent online issue as of September 2026.
- Run PS5 network speed test to refresh connection
