Recently manfightdragon shared a way to increase your PlayStation 4 download speed from 5 to 10 times faster by simply blocking some IP addresses in your router and rebooting your PS4 a few times with a PSN demo video below! After doing this, I saw my speeds increase over double, to around 23down/4up. DMZ and other custom things didn't help me, but you can also try those setups.Īfter doing this setup, turn off your PS4, wait 5-10 minutes, and recheck your connection speed on your PS4. I understand there are probably several different ways to do this, and several different setups, however, this worked for me. I haven't seen a thread like this, and searched and didn't find one, but if there has been one, I apologize, but hopefully this will help people who don't know about this.īasically, changing your primary and secondary DNS servers will usually give you speed a big increase. After searching Google, I did find a solution that actually has fixed my speeds. I'm aware several question-type threads about this have come up around here, but I have seen few solutions. A 2GB file would take around 40 minutes which is unacceptable, especially considering digital downloads becoming more popular. This lead to painstakingly slow downloads on my PS4. I would be getting 50down/4up on my PC, and around 8down/2up on my PS4. It takes 5-10 minutes to run and will then tell you the best DNS servers to use.Īfter buying my PS4 I noticed my connection speed was extremely slow compared to my connection on my PC and other devices.

If it doesn't work, I'd recommending downloading Namebench, which is a program that checks for the best DNS server for your connection.
