My Internet speed matches my ps4 download speed both wired and wireless. Its not PSN,its either your internet provider, your router or both.
I guess yall don't want an improve network either. Whether or not it impacts you is entirely dependent on range. I have a Nighthawk router and my PS4's wifi still has a much slower connection than my other devices in the same room Chromebook, my cell phone, PS3, , which is just a couple of walls and about 30 feet from the router. That's not a cheap router. The PS4 is the issue. More specifically, it's wifi signal pickup degrades with range MUCH faster than most devices.
If you're really close to your router, nothing seems wrong It's when you put some distance in there that the disparity vs. The best fix is to get one of those outlet wifi range extenders and plug your PS4 into it via the extender's ethernet port setup the PS4 as a wired connection. That way, you're effectively using the extender as a high-power external antenna.
It makes a HUGE difference. It also proves that the issue is the PS4's antenna. I have the same problem so does my brother we both have launch systems and the newest netgear router!
You guys and gals need to stop acting as if your situation is the same as everyone's else. It's a matter of fact it isn't and, there may be way more variables in play then in your current but simular situation you have to take in account for every variable not just the ones that pertain to you.
I use an apple router new AirPort Extreme. One of the best damn pieces of hardware I've ever purchased. Extraordinarily strong wifi signal. Ha I love this I get good sppeds maybe your router, listen psn are servers vary I can confirm after many years the PSN network are horrid for downloads here in UK not the router specially when places like steam gives me better downloads.
Plus psn read your connection wrong to varify that go to any speedtest sites match it up. They need region based servers. Btw I started with 2mb down and kbps up gone threw the years with increased speeds now have 80 down and 17mb up still read horrible on psn ive had D links linksy netgears now have all in ones doesnt make differnce.
Hardwire is best for stable connection I agree there but wifi not bad the closer you are to your modem or hub. That doesn't always help. On a Mbps connection, I get 60Mbps max on my PS4 most of the time it's around 35 , and it's wired. There's supposedly a cap on the download speed on the PS4. Dunno why you are getting downvoted, you're right. I'm plugged in on a Mbps connection and get only half that. Thats more than enough for online gaming. Are you only comparing download speeds to PSN to download speeds from other sources on your laptop?
You need to compare apples to apples, because different sites will have different performance due to location, and can also impose throughput caps. But if you're seeing 60Mbps down, you're not suffering like some people are suffering. Before I ran my PS4 to an external antenna plugged it into a wireless range extender , I was only getting Mbps. Nothing supports 5G since its not even released, I think you mean AC wifi which supports a Gigabit speed which is what 5G is working towards. I've run the test speeds and 5ghz is much faster then 2.
Well there's a difference between 5ghz band and calling it 5G internet, Yes you're right the 5GHZ band is faster but has less range than 2. You have to just actually watch while downloading to see what speeds you're actually getting.
Another tip: downloads seem to pickup a ton of speed when the PS4 is in sleep mode. No clue. But I've had downloads with 1 hour left finish in 5 minutes after I put my PS4 to sleep. Will test that out. Another thing I learned, ofcourse if you have a game running that is online or doing any network stuff it can stop downloads or slow them crazy. After closing the game, it might not pick back up.
What you can do, that sometimes gets really slow downloads to pickup I found, go to settings and uncheck network connection, then recheck it. Sometimes the speed picks up like crazy just from turning it off then back on in system network settings.
Using an ethernet cable can also help as the connection is dirext oh and move house to the neareat area that provides the servers lol. Or better move to one of those European or Asian country countries that has supper fast internet lol. As some users have mentioned wifi is rubbish as it is. The chip in the PS4 is really poor. So go wired if you can't have a cable going directly from PS4 to router.
Then first option is. Buy a pair of homeplugs there really cheap now. There the next best option behind cable directly from PS4 to router. Plus with homeplugs there really is not that much wire involved.
A small cable from PS4 to first homeplug. Then another small cable from router to second homeplug. If you have a laptop or a PC near the PS4. It won't be as good as homeplugs. You should see some improvements. Done and done. Never think about it again. They only work if you live in a newer house as they are very unstable in older houses with older wiring etc. My house was built in the 70s, and as far as I can tell, my powerline adapter seems to work pretty well.
How old are you talking here? Consider all of the different things you and your household use the internet for to decide which speeds will be best for you:. If there are a lot of people in your house gaming, streaming, or downloading content at the same time, your connection might not be strong enough.
Certain internet connection types are better for gaming because they have better upload speeds, for example, fiber is better than cable for gaming. Use our search by zip code tool to see if your internet provider offers faster speeds, or if another provider in your area does.
Step two: Give your PS4 a break. You can pause those other downloads in the notifications menu. You can also put your PS4 in rest mode to help speed up downloads. Make sure you have your PS4 set to stay connected to the internet when in rest mode. The extra baggage from your current DNS settings can slow down your speed. Step five: Optimize your router to get a better connection.
Switch to the 5GHz band for a more reliable connection. You will need to make sure your PS4 is within a short distance of your router, or vice versa, since 5GHz works best at shorter distances. Step six: If all else fails, you may need a new internet plan. A good internet connection type, one ideal for gaming, combined with the right internet speed can relieve your PS4 connection issues. Switch to a wired connection instead of using Wi-Fi If your PS4 WiFi connection is slow, you should consider switching to a wired connection.
A menu will appear. Select the network name your currently using. The following screen will appear: 7. The update will then start automatically. Make sure your router has a 5GHz band Routers come with either a 2. One Reddit user explains how this can help improve your download speeds:. By getting a computer on your local network to do some of the heavy lifting, it may be possible to increase your download speed.
This is especially true for early PlayStation 4 models, which have notoriously flaky network adapters. Hold the Options key and click on the Network icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Keep in mind that your PS4 will need to use this proxy to access the internet. The DNS servers you use determine which servers are resolved when you enter a web address.
Some have theories that your choice of DNS servers affect which servers your console uses for downloads. The best way to do this is to change your DNS servers on your router, which will affect all devices on your network. When was the last time you tested your internet speed? If your internet speed is slow to begin with, nothing you do to your PS4 is going to improve things. Test your connection using a laptop or desktop computer by going to Speedtest.
