PS4 - how to improve a slow WiFi connection
If you like to play online on your PS4, a slow WiFi connection is very annoying. This practical tip shows you how you can improve it.
Improve the WiFi connection of the PS4
In terms of software, you can hardly improve a slow connection on the PS4 because there are simply no options available. However, you can influence some other factors.
- Position of the PS4: Your gaming console may be positioned so that the WLAN signal from your device gets stuck in one place on your TV cabinet or on a wall and the connection becomes slow as a result. Larger pieces of metal or pipes are often responsible for this. Try to find another place for the PS4 and note the air line to the router in your apartment. You can also try to stand the PS4 upright using a stand.
- Improve the WiFi network: Your PS4 (first generation) supports the WiFi standards 802.11 b / g / n. Most routers are still in b and g mode, since many devices with higher standards cannot do anything. Test your router to the n standard and check whether all other devices in your household still have a connection. This means that your slow WLAN connection will not only be more stable but also much faster.
- Alternatively, you can amplify the signal with a repeater. In another article we present the 3 best repeaters to improve the WiFi connection.
