The process is covered in the above video. The tester does indeed find an improvement in bandwidth using different DNS servers; this may or may not be the case for other people who try this. It requires reconfiguring the internet connection mostly as Default or Automatic, but changing to Custom just for the DNS servers and entering your own ones manually.
Google DNS 8. Bottom Line — Your download speeds may or may not improve by changing your servers. It depends on a lot of different factors; see the video above for a detailed test of all three servers.
The other two delivered worse bandwidth. Every situation will be different. If you are looking for an even more advanced way of finding the perfect exact pair of DNS servers for your location, then you may want to use the free DNS Benchmark tool , which will run a full test from your computer of all available DNS servers in your area and rank them according to the fastest and most reliable ones.
You can then select the two top ranked ones and manually put them into your PS4 as we showed above. To use this tool you need to visit the website, download the free application and then run the DNS test. Gamers based in the US can use the quick test; someone based in another part of the world may want to run the fuller test that takes around half an hour and tests DNS servers from all over the world to find the two best ones for your location.
In some cases using Custom DNS servers can give a noticeable enough improvement in bandwidth to make it worth changing them. If you really like the results you get from using a certain custom pair of DNS servers, then you can even put them into your router so that all the devices in your house can use them.
See here for an article how to do this for some popular routers. This is another very common reason why PS4 downloads can go slower than expected — there are simply a lot of people using the internet at the same time in the home and more generally , and this can increase network congestion and increase the time it takes for downloads to complete.
This problem is worse on Wi-Fi, because it is more prone to congestion. A router can only handle traffic demands on Wi-Fi sequentially, in a queue based system, and not simultaneously. More devices connecting equals more traffic demands, equals longer downloads, as the router can only do so much at once and has to keep everyone happy. However, there is a setting called Quality of Service or QoS, which you can try and use on your router to manage traffic and prioritize your PS4 on the home network.
This is a setting which can tell your router to handle all traffic demands from your PS4 first, before anything else. It is mainly used to reduce ping on busy networks; nevertheless you can try it if you like to see if it also improves download speeds as well at busy peak times. Nevertheless, it is good practice to use QoS to reduce ping at least on busy networks, and may offer some help with download speeds.
More generally, it is also true that downloads can run slower more generally at peak internet use time evenings and weekends , when lots of people are indoors and using the internet. One thing that can commonly catch people out is not realizing the difference between download speeds and file sizes. I'm holding out for a proper JB exploit so I don't want to update. Already made the mistake of going past 5. Why does the PS4 ignore my settings that are supposed to prevent it from downloading system updates?
Silk , Mar 17, I own a JP system, and my good friend atrey owns an American one. I'd suggest using a sandisk connect with the system. Interesting what you say about using a Sandisk Connect. I actually happen to have one of those but I don't really see what it would have to do with a PS4. Wouldn't it just be like using any USB drive? Very curious to know more about what you mean there.
Thanks, unfortunately I'm afraid I don't know what that means. Is this something only for existing exploited systems? Mine is not. I'm still unclear on what a Connect would do for a PS4.
I think the one I have is 8GBs. I don't know what use for the device if not using on exploitable system. I've never tried dumping a game with one, 'cause the payload for that is to shutdown the system once finished. I have also everything turned off but firmware updates and app updates incoming automatically only game updates not I heard that if You live console in sleep mode downloading something, she will download and update fw without any permission. Berion , Mar 17, I'm still totally confused on what you're talking about.
