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.
You must login or register to view this content.
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:
- Go to “Network”
- Go to “Set up Internet Connection”
- Select “Use Wi-Fi” or “Use a LAN Cable” depending on whether you’re connected on wireless or via ethernet cable.
- Select “Custom”
- Select “Automatic”
- Select “
o Not Specify”
- Select “Manual”
- 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)
- Select “Automatic”
- Select “o Not Use”
Also Works on xbox too.

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?

Ur stupid ps3 data transfer caps at 56mbps due to wireless g i think its using example n caps at 450mbps i actually get a speed increase from bridging as i run off wireless ac that caps at 1300mbps so im not being limited by anything but the ps3 hdd read and write i go from a download of about 3 to 7mbps this all depends on time of day as i can go as low as 120kb y i said dns dont help when ur isp is gonna reroute u anyway

if i bridged the conection that means id have to connect wireless to my router from my pc which only gives me 34mbps download speed and 18mbps upload speed .
so if i bridged the connection from my ps4 to my pc. then i would be sharing that connection. i just wasted 20 mins of my time rearaning my setup to prove a point. i bridged the connection and got only 23mbps download and 9.8mbps upload.
without bridging it i get 66mbps download and 17mb upload
so im struggling to see how your way is giving me a faster connection

im not talking about the ps4 having wireless i know it does. if you bridge the connection then you need to conect from your ps4 via a ethernet cable to you pc which is connected wireless to the internet. also i see nothing about the ps4 in your reply. and i did the test with a 5ghz wireless dongle. and the connection was to my bt home hub 5 which is one of the best routers available for wireless.
