When your PS4 is connected to the internet with WiFi, you might experience slower speeds because of the distance or any objects between your console and the modem that could weaken the connection. With a wired connection, your PS4 is directly connected to your internet modem using an ethernet cord. This means that the connection will be faster and more reliable. To establish a wired connection:. It will detect the ethernet cord and connect your console to the internet.
This should improve your PS4 internet connection. You can also find out if your console is trying to download multiple games at once and decide which ones you want to download first by following these steps:.
Games that are downloading will appear at the top of the list of notifications. After the content you wanted to download first is finished, you can resume the other downloads by following the same steps you used to pause them.
Putting your PlayStation 4 in rest mode while downloading content increases speed. If it is, it will show up at the top of the list with a downloading bar.
Domain Name System DNS is basically like the contact list in your phone, but for the entire internet. It stores a list of websites and their corresponding IP internet protocol addresses. The default DNS server assigned to your home network is typically provided by your internet service provider.
You have the option to change your default DNS server to another one to make things load faster. This should speed up PS4 downloads.
Firmware is a piece of software that helps your hardware function properly. Updating your firmware to the latest version will ensure your download speeds are fast and everything on your PS4 is running smoothly overall.
To update your firmware:. All internet routers are not created equal. A 2GB file would take around 40 minutes which is unacceptable, especially considering digital downloads becoming more popular.
I'm aware several question-type threads about this have come up around here, but I have seen few solutions. After searching Google, I did find a solution that actually has fixed my speeds. I haven't seen a thread like this, and searched and didn't find one, but if there has been one, I apologize, but hopefully this will help people who don't know about this.
Basically, changing your primary and secondary DNS servers will usually give you speed a big increase. Try it. If it doesn't work, I'd recommending downloading 'Namebench', which is a program that checks for the best DNS server for your connection.
It takes minutes to run and will then tell you the best DNS servers to use. I understand there are probably several different ways to do this, and several different setups, however, this worked for me. DMZ and other custom things didn't help me, but you can also try those setups.
