Update the PS5 system software.

This is another basic stuff that you should be doing whether or not you have an issue. 

Follow these steps on how to update your PlayStation 5:

  1. Make sure that your PS5 is connected to the internet.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Go to System.
  4. Go to System Software.
  5. Go to System Software Update and Settings.
  6. Go to Update System Software.

Power cycle the modem or router.

PS5 error code CE-113212-0 can also be the result of a minor bug from your modem/router. To see, you’ll have to shut the modem or router down and unplug it from the power source for 30 seconds. Once you’ve done that, turn it back on and see if connecting to the PlayStation Network now works.

NOTE: Before you connect your PlayStation 5 to your router again, make sure that the router lights are all stable. Some routers may take up to 5 minutes to become fully ready after a reboot. Once you’re sure that the router has established an internet connection to the ISP, connect your console to it and see if the PS5 error code is now gone.

Reboot your PS5.

If the PS5 error code remains and your console is still unable to connect to the server, the next move is to power cycle it. Like the router, you want to do full power cycle by turning it off, unplugging it for 30 seconds, then checking for the problem afterwards.

Once you’ve rebooted the PS5, make sure that you also check for the latest system software.

Update router firmware.

If rebooting won’t do anything, you can also try to check if you can update the firmware of your router. If your router was provided by your internet company, contact your ISP on how to go about checking for and installing firmware updates for your network equipment.

If you are using your own router and you have no idea how to update its firmware, try to contact the router vendor instead.

Check for wireless signal interference.

PlayStation 5 connection errors may sometimes occur not because of server troubles or equipment glitch but simply because the console is too far from the router, or there’s signal interference. 

To see if that’s the case, try moving the router and PS5 closer together and make sure that there’s no thick wall, glass, or metal between them.

If that won’t fix PS5 error code, you can start checking for the possibility that signal interference may have a role why your wireless connection does not work properly. Other routers in the vicinity that broadcast on the same 2.4GHz band may be making the wifi channel you’re using too crowded. Try switching your router channels and see if that will help.

If your router is dual-band capable, try using the 5GHz band instead of the 2.4GHz. Most wireless devices are set to use the latter by default, potentially causing too much signal noise.

Other advanced solutions to fix PS5 error code CE-113212-0

If none of the basic instructions above has helped so far and your console is still unable to connect to the internet, can’t do any PS Store transaction, or visit the PlayStation Network, there are other advanced options that you can try.

TCP: 80, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480

UDP: 3478, 3479,49152~65535.

You may need to contact your Internet Service Provider or the router vendor for help with port opening or regarding how to configure your network settings on your router user interface.

Use a static IP.

If you are using DHCP or dynamic IP address on your console, try switching to a static IP instead and see if that will fix PS5 error code CE-113212-0. To do that, go to your console’s network settings and manually enter an internal IP that’s not being used by any other device in your home network. 

If you need help to configure the network settings, use Google search to find the right answers.

Change DNS settings.
