(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Due to their plug and play nature people often don’t bother setting up their internet connection properly on consoles, and this often results in lower performance compared to what they could achieve. Today Reddit user RemoteSenses posted a You must login or register to view this content. on how to set your nameservers on PS4, which depending on your location could lead to a sensible improvement in the quality of your tethering to the world wide web.


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”


Also Works on xbox too.

Haxor!
You could also set up a squid cache like me. it majorly improves loading under the what's new location and viewing the friends list. It also greatly helps loading pages much faster on the web browser.

Do a barrel roll!
Hi guys, sorry if it's in the wrong forum..

I m located in Australia and I get 35 Mbps down and only 1mbps up.
I normally play with players from Europe and I get lots of lag.

So is the lag because of my upload speed or is it because other players r located so far away?

Lastly what can I do to reduce lag or make it work to my advantage. Any help appreciated. Cheers

it'll be due to the distance, im sure means you'll have a higher ping ( time it takes for data to travel to and from the host or something ) as for reducing lag, i would be to play with players in your own region
