There have been numerous complaints about the slow download speeds of PS 4. Would you be interested in trying out a workaround? A Reddit user, Jordanjac has come up with a brilliant workaround for increasing the download speeds of PS 4. To increase the download speed, the workaround involved changing the DNS from the default which is normally your gateway to open DNS or another provider.
Even downloading Renegade Ops was a test of patience that I managed to barely pass. I was close to losing all hope of finding a solution until I found a thread with a written tutorial.
After following the steps and connecting my PS3 to a proxy server, I decided to give it another try and download Counter Strike. For a far more stable network connection, ditch wireless altogether and use an Ethernet cable instead. The original PS4 is notoriously bad for its wireless connection, but a wired connection will improve performance on both the Slim and Pro hardware revisions too.
If your router is close to your console, this is an easy fix. But what if your PS4 and router are in different rooms, or on different floors? Ethernet powerline adapters allow you to use the cables that are already in your walls. For many of us, wireless networks are the only option.
The original PS4 model only supports While 2. Ideally, the router and console should be in the same room, or as close as you can manage. Follow these tips to get a better wireless signal. Many users swear that setting up a proxy server on a local machine solved their download woes. A proxy is like a gateway to the internet most commonly found on a corporate network. 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. The site estimated various download times for a typical 50GB PS4 title, and users with a 2Mbps connection could be faced with a download time of 55 hours.
User Info: Nicodimus. Less is more. Plugged it back in after about a minute. The Federal Communications Commission FCC says that speeds of megabits per second Mbps are just fine for the low-end user with one or two people in the household. Students and telecommuters require Mbps, and higher-need internet users will want download speeds of at least 25 Mbps. There are several reasons that make PS4 become slow and lagging, such as corrupted system files, malfunctioning USB device connected, or a defective hard drive.
