The original ps4 is known for having connectivity issues due to its wireless card.
Ps4 pro lan cable slow.
5 ghz frequency band is supported for ps4 slim and ps4 pro models.
But even on the ps4 pro the download speeds on wi fi will be considerably smaller than on an ethernet connection.
So when you tried everything above yet ps4 is still lagging and slow you must suspect the hard drive.
Use only an ethernet cable compatible with 10base t 100base tx or 1000base t networks.

The agonizingly slow download speeds of sony s playstation network are well documented.

Make sure to use the shortest ethernet cable you can no longer than 25 feet.
Sometimes you ll need to initialize ps4 as that broken update made conflicts within the ps4 system thus ps4 became slow.
