Pen0sIRE 201 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 hello, just wondering if anyone else has been using wifi on their ps4 as oppose to wired? I am having issues downloading atm and im not sure if i have to open ports or change settings on my router to get my normal download speeds? i havn't had much of an issue playing games online but downloading updates has been very slow, i have 4gb/18gb of a destiny download since yesterday. any advice appreciated and if i find what the issue is from my googling ill post it up here too!

Sinister 2,583 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 When I went from WiFi to wired my DL speeds increased. Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/7464-ps4-and-wifi/#findComment-122723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeGreenLegend 4,275 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Same, I get such a bad wifi connection for my PS4 that I always have it wired. No problem with any of my other wifi devices tho.

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Nobody will ever get their normal download speeds through a PS4, hard wired or not, it's being constantly throttled. I'd suggest running a hard wire to the PS4 because WiFi is considerably slower and rarely allows the PS4 to connect to anything but NAt type 3 (strict).

vishesh_91 509 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 When setting up your internet connection change MTU to 1473.Default is 1500.I had really slow downloads too. Another thing you could try is to pause and then resume the download.

Torrid 653 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I've noticed a difference in speed between our hardwired console and WiFi setup one, but at least with the current router/modem combo unit we have it's not a big enough issue to go through the hassle of trying to run a cable through walls to get it upstairs. I would recommend hard wiring if you can do so without much trouble.

BMSTANG 182 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I tried mine hardwired and it tested considerably faster than my wifi, but I still been using wifi without any problem.
