First of all download Google’s You must login or register to view this content. (windows download link You must login or register to view this content.) on any PC and run it (try not to have any other download going on as you do, as it could throw the results off). It will benchmark all the available nameservers and find the ones that are fastest for you.

The above image is a example.

Once you’re done testing, write down the two fastest nameservers (marked Primary and Secondary on the top right of the web page that will be opened automatically, as you can see above) and open the settings menu of your PS4, then follow the steps below:




  1. Go to “Network”
  2. Go to “Set up Internet Connection”
  3. Select “Use Wi-Fi” or “Use a LAN Cable” depending on whether you’re connected on wireless or via ethernet cable.
  4. Select “Custom”
  5. Select “Automatic”
  6. Select “Awesome faceo Not Specify”
  7. Select “Manual”
  8. Insert the two numbers you got before as your “Primary DNS” and “Secondary DNS” (don’t use those in the picture above, as they’re specific for me and showcased just as an example)
  9. Select “Automatic”
  10. Select “Awesome faceo Not Use”

you may want to try it more than once because i messed up my setting on my ps4 so i had to do this again. and i had to run the namebench around 3-4 times before i got the same speed as i had when i first tried.
but now i have saved the results webpage as a favourite so i will never lose the dns settings and i suggest you lot to do the same incase you have any problems. as it will be easier than keep running the namebench.

Does this generally work for the PS3 as well?

Or is it just the PS4?

if you bridge the connection from your pc to your ps4. you will need to connect an ethernet cable from your ps4 to your pc. and most pcs only have one ethernet port so you would need to connect from your pc to your router via wireless which will give you slower speeds than connecting wired. and then you need to share that wireless connection with your ps4 which will give you even slower speeds.

or have i got it wrong?
