How to improve ps4 wi-fi speeds

[projectHades]

I get around 70DL and 30UL on my laptop over wifi. 

And on my ps4 I get 1DL and 1.1UL, I tried changing DNS to googles one (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4) as well as giving it a static IP and changing settings in my router to give it priority and I get no improvement at all. 

Do you know any other way without buying a repeater or powerline adapter that can improve the wifi?

I'm assuming ps4 has a crap network card which is a bottleneck but 1mbps is a joke in this day,

Moving them closer to one another. Also, if your ps4 is tucked in your media console with a bunch of other electronics, they may be interfering.

 

 

EDIT: Changing your DNS settings WILL NOT make your download speeds any faster, it can only make a small difference when going to websites. (kinda like a better ping time, but not exactly)

tbh though, wire it or move it closer to your router

its enough to play online games i think. as all say. just move closer or go wired

So what you wanna do is get some fiber optic wire, dig a hole from your house to the ISP server location and directly connect it to a server and disconnect everyone else using that server.

 

Seriously, be happy with those speeds. PS4 isn't that same as a laptop. (Background tasks)

Plug it in to an ethernet cord. You will get your full moneys worth. I don't suggest using wifi in anything in a house that you can avoid doing. If you are paying for 66 down you should get it not like 40 that you get on wifi.

I used to have 5mbps for years now finally can do everything properly I have it about 5 meters away and signal strength is a 90%

If you have other things like range extenders , they will piggy back the same wifi channel and slow everything down. I had this problem because of an extender upstairs, when I unplugged it, my downstairs signal quality went way up. Other than that and moving something, no...no you do not.

sell it for a pc

 

jokes aside move it closer to the router and try different channels to reduce interference.

I fixed it without doing anything too complicated.

 

 

I went into network connections, made sure that none of my connections is being shared and then bridged wifi and lan port to create Ethernet 2 bridged connection.

Then I plugged an ethernet cable into ps4 and laptop.

On the ps4 I went into set up as LAN and went into custom setup, then for IP Address I selected manual, gave it an IP address that will never be used by my devices eg 192.168.1.40, 

for subnet mask I went onto my laptop and ran command prompt then put in command ipconfig /all and got subnet mask, default gateway as well as primary and secondary dns, then put them all into the ps4 and went onto next step, which is leaving everything default. 

Now I get download speeds of 50mbps and upload of 15mbps

 

Hope this helps someone in the future

Agreed move it closer, try and get line of sight to your router. 

Also, I get 50 Mb DL, 15 Mb UL.
