Many of them use wireless just fine. There's a lot of different variables that make for a stable connection. However, even the most perfect wireless connection is not going to be as stable as using a wire. Some things you need to consider that will have an effect on wireless gaming:
- The amount of bandwidth all your devices are using
- If you're on a 5g connection vs 2.4g
- The distance from the router to your PS5
- Having walls and floors in between
- The quality of your router
- Whether or not wireless gaming features are enabled on the router
You're also welcome to do your own research on wireless vs wired when it comes to gaming. Games like FC are sending a lot of data back and forth. If your connection isn't strong enough, not all of that data is going to make it through. Which is why you experience speed up lag. Packets are being sent, but not all of them are making it. That lost data can't be used to keep your game running smoothly. This is just the nature of wireless internet. It's not meant to be used for competitive gaming. That will improve over time. Especially as consoles start using WiFi 6, but the PS5 and Xbox Series X systems do not support this.
My advice is to use a wired connection or get a powerline adaptor. I have a couple of those myself and have not had the issues you would normally have using a wireless connection. If a wireless connection is required, make sure it's on a 5g signal. Most modern routers support both 2.4 and 5g.
