CE-108262-9
Network Data Transfer Error
CE-108262-9 is a network data-transfer error, and it generally means your connection dropped or was too unstable to sustain a download or online session. Congested 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, a weak signal, or a flaky router or ISP are the common triggers. The single most reliable fix is a wired Ethernet connection; if that is not possible, moving to the 5 GHz band, restarting the router, and relocating the console closer to it usually steady things. A connection test on the PS5 confirms whether speeds are the problem.
What causes this error
