PS4 eats up all of the bandwith

EdvinasAndr

Hello,

I have already searched for solutions on Google, Lithuanian PC builders groups and etc. to no avail. Last month I got a long Ethernet cable that is connected to my Wi-Fi router and directly into PS4. All devices have a good connection with Wi-Fi up until I turn PS4 on. Then the speeds fall down drastically and I can't even scroll through facebook feed it is so slow. There are 2 photos: 1st one: WIFI speed on my PC when PS4 is off, 2nd one: WIFI speed when PS4 is on.

Are there any solutions to this problem, because lately I just couldn't use the PS4 because my family losses access to internet while I'm using it.

Nelabai pavyks :D Laidas nuo routerio iki PS4 gal 10m ilgio ir pravestas per sienas.

Bet supranti problema ne su PS4, o kad kai įjungiu PS4 visi kiti įrenginiai nebegauna bandwith

Nu nežinau, gali būt kad kokio stiprintuvo reik, (bent jau man taip su usb buvo, irgi apie 10m, bet čia visai kitas dalykas), o tai wireless nelabai gaudo tas ps4?

Seems like you have decent connection to PS4, so the Cable has nothing to do with it.

Maybe try to do something in QoS if Router prioritizes PS4 than other devices it might be the cause

Is there a way to split the bandwith so WIFI and PS4 gets the same?

No, but just having the PS4 on shouldn't cause this issue unless a download is actually running maxing out your connection.

Router:  Intel N100 (pfSense) WiFi6: Zyxel NWA210AX (1.7Gbit peak at 160Mhz)
WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz) Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX
ISPs: Zen Full Fibre 900 (~930Mbit down, 115Mbit up) + Three 5G (~800Mbit down, 115Mbit up)
Upgrading Laptop/Desktop CNVIo WiFi 5 cards to PCIe WiFi6e/7

There is no difference if download is running or not it always uses up all of the bandwith

In QoS you can set maximum allowed bandwidth for your PS4, you can play with the settings in your router page http://192.168.1.1 as default login and password should be "admin".

You can google which way is better to set up for PS4 and how much actually does it require for gaming (for online games I doubt you need that 20mb/s rate I think like 5-8mb/s should do it).

 

* I'm not saying it will work 100% there can be many causes in this situation from your ISP to PS4

That's very odd, I'm not sure what to suggest.

Does it happen if you plug something else into the same cable?

When I plug in my PC everything is okay this only happens with PS
