PS4: set up WiFi connection - how it works

With the PS4 you can of course also access the Internet. In addition to a LAN connection, you can also set up a WLAN connection. We explain how to configure the connection the first time you start your console and how you can set it up again later.

Set up Wi-Fi connection the first time you start PS4

1. The network environment is checked directly when you set up your PS 4 for the first time.
2. In the step "Set up Internet connection" you can choose "Use Wi-Fi" instead of "Use LAN cable".
3. Then select your home network from the list of displayed networks.
4. Then enter the WiFi password and confirm it again with the R2 button.
5. Finally, click OK".

Configure the WLAN connection in the menu

If you would like to set up the WLAN connection later or again, you have to go to the Settings menu:

1. To do this, go to "Settings" in the start menu.
2. Select "Network" and click "Set up Internet connection".
3. Then select "Use Wi-Fi" and "Simple".
4. In the network list, select your WLAN with the X button and then enter your password.
