Manually change the DNS address in my PlayStation 4’s network settings to use either Google’s DNS server (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or the ones provided by OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220). People saying this works, only if your getting slow speeds try it.


For those of you who aren’t sure how to make these DNS changes manually, here are the steps you have to take in order to do so for both the PlayStation 4 (PlayStation 3 is identical) and the PlayStation Vita:

PLAYSTATION 4
1. Press the PlayStation Button

2. Select the Settings menu

1401893948496

3. Select Network

1401893983185

4. Select Set Up Internet Connection

5. Select either Wifi or LAN Cable, whichever is your preferred setup

6. Select Custom

1401894063548

7. Select Manual

1401894149252

8. Now, depending on your set up, and whether or not you have a firm grasp of handling a CUSTOM set-up as opposed to the EASY option, you may want to select the default choice for each option leading up to the DNS Settings tab (Those being IP Address, Subnet Mask. Default Gateway, etc). Once you get to the DNS Settings, enter in the Primary and Secondary DNS server address of one of the two DNS Servers below (do not mix-and-match).
