I’ve been wondering if my PS5 could accidentally turn on my neighbor’s PS5 when I activate mine. My PS5 controllers can turn on the console from anywhere in my house, but my neighbors don’t even have a PlayStation. Is there any chance they could get impacted when I power mine up?

Nope, your controller can only wake up your own PS5. They’re specifically paired with your console, so they won’t have any effect on someone else’s system.
Yeah, the controller really needs to be linked to your PS5 directly. It won’t activate a neighboring unit.
Actually, if you’ve set up your PS5 to turn your TV on when it powers up, it might look like it’s affecting things—but that’s just your setup. I had a similar issue until I disabled that option.
