What are the problems of having poor internet connection on PS4?
Having connection problems on a PS4 console is very annoying and below we will tell you the main reasons why this happens and also how to solve it.
However, before starting to tell you the reasons, we recommend that you do an analysis through the PS4 itself that allows you to see your connection and to do this, just go to the settings, then select the option that says Network and finally test the internet connection .
Not having a proper NAT
Finally, this analysis will allow you to see some details such as the internet speed and also the NAt, if you do not have an adequate NAT, it may be the cause of the problem . To get a better connection you should use NAT 1 AND NAT 2, since NAT 3 is the one that causes the most problems when playing online.
DNS servers
Another cause of connection problems is due to DNS servers and their operation, which are responsible for converting websites into IP addresses, there are various types of DNS servers and among the best we have the following: (Later we will explain how you can change it on your PS4)
- OpenNic: 107.150.40.234/50.116.23.211,
- Google DNS: 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4
- PointCAT: 109.69.8.51
Be connected to the router’s 5 GHz network
If for some reason you start to suffer from bad connections that is cut off, but check the NAT and the rest of the things are well configured.
So the problem may be due to the 5 GHz network that the router has, since even though the PS4 and Slim are very compatible; however, there may be a problem because it has a much smaller range than the normal 2.4 GHz network , and then you just have to change the network and it will be solved.
pull the cord
Many of us have our PS4 consoles connected directly with a cable ; however, it may not be in good condition and is the reason why you have connection problems.
What ways are there to connect to the internet from a PlayStation?
As we already know through our video game console we can connect to the internet and here we will leave you the various ways.
Using a LAN network cable
Many people connect their PS4 console directly with a LAN network cable , since they consider that this way the connection will be much faster.
Use Wi-Fi
The second way to connect a PlayStation to the internet through a Wi-Fi network, this is usually one of the most used by users.
WPS compatible access point
And the last way to connect a PS4 video game console to the internet is through an access point that supports WPS.
What is done to configure the Wi-Fi manually on the PS4?
When setting up Wi-Fi for the first time on a PS4, you have to go through the step of selecting it and entering its password, but the rest of the setup is done automatically and we often forget how it was set up at the time.
Now that it’s causing connection problems it’s not a bad idea to reconfigure the WiFi from scratch on the PS4 to ‘refresh’ the data and manually enter the DNS address by the way.
To do this , go to Settings, then Network Settings, and then Configure Internet Connection. Here you have to choose the option to use a WiFi network, when it asks you if you want to use quick settings or personal settings, check the second option.
Since we are going to enter the data manually to make sure everything is correct (it is usually fine to use the automatic configuration). But if you are having problems, it is better to make sure.
If you make a personalized configuration automatically, the system detects any wireless network that is available within your reach, so all you have to do is select your WiFi network. Next, you have to enter the password, and then it will ask you for other data, you just have to copy them and that’s it.
What is the way to disable the internet access point on the PS4?
Normally, when you turn on the PS4 console, the internet connection is always activated, and to be able to disconnect you just have to go to the settings, once there you just have to uncheck the box that is with a check or check mark.
Where is the option to disable WiFi on PS4?
On a PlayStation console, at the moment you cannot delete or disable a Wi-Fi network that you have already saved, and the only thing you can do to make it connect to said Wi-Fi network is to apply a little trick and for that just follow these steps:
- Go to the menu and then select the Settings.
- When you are there, click on the one where it says Red.
- Then choose ‘Set up an internet connection’.
- Then click on Use Wifi, and then choose the personalize option.
- Find the network you want to delete or unlink.
- Click on the letter X, then just wait a few seconds then select Cancel.
- Automatically you will get the password, you have to delete it.
- Enter a wrong password, that is, change the password.
- A window will appear indicating that the password is incorrect.
- Finally, just click on accept and that’s it, you can continue using the console and the Wi-Fi network will no longer be connected.
