I think It's Bluetooth tethering. Alternatively, you could just buy a $5 wifi usb adapter.

sounds like you might wanna use powerline adapters

 

plug one into a wall socket next to the router

then plug the other one into a wall socket in your room..then plug the device into the adapter

Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections > Right click on Wi-Fi > Sharing > Allow others to connect through

That should work.

there's a lot of different check boxes there, I don't know which to select. I tried it default and it didn't work

Did you click on Sharing at the top of the properties window?

Why do you need to connect a PS4 through this method? The PS4 has fairly decent WiFi

How are you measuring these speeds? Because frankly I think it's highly likely the issue isn't with the connection between router and PS4.

free > 5$

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"
