Ps4 Slow Download Speed Fix Dns

If you own a PS4, you probably would’ve already faced a lot of slow downloads. Ever since the PS4’s launch back in 2013, people have been complaining about the slow download speeds on their consoles, usually over WiFi. Even consumers who have high speed internet connections in their homes are facing throttled speeds on their PS4 systems. This results in game download times being directly affected. So, today we’ll be letting you know a potential fix to this problem to boost your connection speed. Well, without further ado, let’s take a look at how to improve the download speed on your PS4:
Change DNS and MTU Settings On PS4
Note: I tested this on a PS4 Pro system while downloading Horizon Zero Dawn because the speeds were unbearable. After doing the following procedure, my speed was almost doubled and the ETA was reduced by half. However, this procedure may or may not solve everyone’s issues.
By default, the DNS and MTU settings are set to automatic for your internet connection on the PlayStation 4. We need to change those manually now. In order to do that, simply follow the steps below:
- Click the “Briefcase” icon on the home screen of your PS4 system to go to the console’s settings.
- Click on Network -> Set Up Internet Connection. Now if you’re making use of Ethernet for a wired connection to the Internet, choose “Use a LAN Cable”. Else, choose “Use Wi-Fi”.
- You will now be asked to either choose “Easy” or “Custom” mode to set up your internet connection. Click on Custom.
- For IP Address Settings, click on “Automatic“.
- Now, for DHCP Host Name, click on “Do Not Specify“.
- You’ll now be asked to choose the DNS settings. Click on “Manual“.
- You should now enter your Primary and Secondary DNS. You can use either Google DNS or OpenDNS for this procedure. Use either of the following:
Google DNS:
Primary DNS – 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS – 8.8.4.4
Primary DNS – 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS – 8.8.4.4
OpenDNS:
Primary DNS – 208.67.222.22
Secondary DNS – 208.67.220.220
Primary DNS – 208.67.222.22
Secondary DNS – 208.67.220.220
- Once done, click on Next to proceed to MTU settings. Here, click on “Manual“.
- Type 1473 in the MTU menu. If that’s not accepted by your PS4, type in 1450. Click Next.

- Choose “Do Not Use” for Proxy Server. That’s it for the configuration process.

- Finally, click “Test Internet Connection“. Then, wait for the speed test to complete, it usually takes around a minute.
Well, it’s as simple as that, you should notice a considerable improvement in your download speeds after you’ve done this. The reason why you get this improvement is because in certain areas, the ISP’s DNS servers may generally be crowded. Considering Google DNS and OpenDNS servers are two of the fastest DNS servers in the world, it will most certainly be faster than your ISP’s DNS servers. If the procedure didn’t work out for you, it’s something else that’s hindering your speeds.

Speeds: Before vs After
The WiFi network provides an internet speed of around 5-7 Mbps, so the improvement in speeds was quite significant in our case. The download speed almost doubled and the upload speed was almost 10 times better. While trying to download Horizon Zero Dawn game, we observed that the ETA was cut down by half after switching to Google’s DNS and MTU value set to 1473. You can see the results for yourself below:
Use Ethernet, Not Wi-Fi
If the above procedure doesn’t work for you, there’s probably something else that’s hindering your speeds. Using a WiFi network can affect your speeds as well, especially considering the fact that the standard PS4 supports only 2.4 GHz WiFi band, which is usually crowded. So, connecting directly using a LAN cable would be a much better option to improve your download speeds on the PS4.

Looks like I'd see Big Ben and St Paul's is I drove into the centre of LondonEssentially the VW Discovery Pro is the Seat Navigation Plus whilst the standard system is a stripped down version less the 3D map images, the SSD, the DVD, the two free SD slots, the jukebox, speech recognition, etc etc etc.Last but not least the 3D image appears in the Leon pages in the UK, Barcelona in 3D. Audi navi vs navi plus. I've only seen it doing it once in Lille but one was a ring / main road so didn't need it and was heading through.It will look something like thisExample on this page, this the VW / Skoda so same MIB2 unit.Discovery Pro image hereBuilding top left etcI expect if I ever drove into the centre of London I might see Buckingham Palace on it etc. Essentially land mark graphics.Actually. The idea being that you see the 3D image and compare with where you are.
Use This Simple Tweak to Increase Download Speed on PS4
Well, the procedure is far from complicated and takes only a few minutes. So, if you’re one of those PS4 users facing slow internet speeds, try this procedure out and let us know how this has improved your download speeds. Also, while I tried this on the PS4 Pro, the method should work on the original PS4 and PS4 Slim. So, try it out and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

WOW. The horrible advice here.
#1 Do NOT change your MTU. 1500 is normal. Leave your Max Transmit Unit as is please!
#2 DNS wont matter. Once it resolves a domain name to an IP it's done it job. Just stick with your routers DNS functions 192.168.1.1 or whatever your modem LAN IP is. You can use Googles at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 but I wouldn't. Use this only when/if your ISP is having DNS issues. Your ISP really should do all the Domain Name Server lookups. The only time I have ever seen Google DNS fix anything is when an ISP is having issues with a DNS server. Which is very very very rare on the client end.
#3 Don't bother forwarding ports. Forwarding is for servers behind a router. DO make sure nobody is blocking your PSN ports though. Modern routers do this with UnPNP and it works great these days.
#4 If you call yourself a gamer you should be hardwired. Don't expect your ISP to run the cat5e to your gaming hole for free. Hire a contractor or run a line yourself. WiFi is garbage.
#5 Don't 'Double NAT' use switches to split your hardwired connections. Don't use another router behind a router IE: ISP router non-bridged to another router you have like a Netgear. Don't use 'hubs' just use switches.
#6 Don't call your ISP. I am frankly getting sick of being dispatched to fix internet because your PS4 says your DL speed is at 5Megs. Check on a wired PC at speedtest.net or DSL reports. My company charges $100 just to have us show up and show you that your PS4 is 5-15Meg and your provided connection is up to your package. In 2015 I banked $2,300 in service call charges because customers did not check their PC speeds and trusted the PS4 'speedtest'. All 23 customers refused to troubleshoot with the call centre, so I billed them. The ones who did all that phone call crap like unplugging modem, checked on PCs with the phone agent did not get charged.
The issue is the PSN. I encourage everyone in North America to call Sony at 1-877-971-7669 and let them know that you pay for the service and 1-5mbps is not at all acceptable for 2017.
I called PSN, escalated the call, as I had never once called Sony in my life, even during the summer downtime a few years ago when they were hacked ALL summer. Call escalated to a 'Manager' named 'Charles ID # 10020'. He followed a script (facepalm) and thought it was my ports. Not ports, have a connection but its slow. Then he tried to blame my ISP. I explained to him my speeds at 50M down, no CRC, FEC, HECs, 0% Packet Loss over 48 hours. I am a field tech for ISP so I can check and repair my own physical network. The pervious agent wanted me to factory reset the PS4 and make me redownload everything.
Asked for a 1 month PSN+ credit due to years of poor service. Basically got told my PS4 was working perfectly. Apparently slow downloads are perfect guys, and the system is working as intended.
Income tax refunds are coming. Buying the xBoxOne. I was a loyal supporter/fan boi for all things Playstation for many many years. Even through the 'summer hack', slow speeds, constant hacks on the PSN taking it down and even when they started charging. But not tossing me 1 month of Plus after all that. Sony lost a customer for everything, gaming, TVs, electronics. I'm done with them for good.
Take care guys! Please stop doing stupid crap like changing MTUs and thinking there is something you can do at home (unless you have recent changes that may cause issues). It's the PSN. It's not very robust and always has been a spotty network.
