This is one of the major reasons why ps4 is running slow.
Ps4 pro lan cable slow.
5 ghz frequency band is supported for ps4 slim and ps4 pro models.
I just ran a test on the ps4 internet browser and it gave me a result of 34 22 meanwhile the ps4 test still says 32 4.
Make sure to use the shortest ethernet cable you can no longer than 25 feet.
Sometimes you ll need to initialize ps4 as that broken update made conflicts within the ps4 system thus ps4 became slow.
Try connecting your ps4 system to your router directly using an ethernet lan cable.
Enter the numbers provided by the namebench application in their respective order.
Select 5 ghz only if listed and press x.
But still the best i can get usually is about 32 4 on my ps4.
Does the ps4 ps4 pro incorrectly read network speeds or slow them down.
Slow wi fi issues can strike whether you re playing on an original ps4 the slim version or a ps4 pro.
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.
Do not use a cord for a standard residential telephone line or cable types other than those mentioned here.
When i check the speed via my computer plugged in i am getting 200 240 mbps 29 no problem.
Even wi fi is in the high 100s.
If your router is close to your console this is an easy fix.
Use a wired connection.
It s especially obnoxious when you come home from a long day of work ready to play a newly released game or.
If you don t have access to 5ghz wi fi try these options below.
I just have a simple question.
On your ps4 go to network set up internet connection and select use wi fi or use a lan cable depending on whether you re connected via wi fi or an ethernet cable.
These fixes work on any version of the console though some may be more effective than others.
Select custom automatic do not specify manual.
I have spectrum 300 mbps and i keep my ps4 pro plugged directly into my router via the lan cable.
Defective internal hard drive.
Check the status of the playstation network.
I have 300 20 internet but i cannot wire connect and the ps4 can t pick up the 5ghz signal so i have to use the 2 4ghz signal which only outputs 100 20.
So when you tried everything above yet ps4 is still lagging and slow you must suspect the hard drive.
Keep in mind that the ethernet cable ends are interchangeable so it doesn t matter which side you plug into the router.
If you want superior download speeds you absolutely need to connect your ps4 to the internet with a cable.
But even on the ps4 pro the download speeds on wi fi will be considerably smaller than on an ethernet connection.
