Download faster on ps4 with att wifi

Many users swear that setting up a proxy server on a local machine solved their download woes. A proxy is like a gateway to the internet most commonly found on a corporate network. One Reddit user explains how this can help improve your download speeds:. By getting a computer on your local network to do some of the heavy lifting, it may be possible to increase your download speed.

This is especially true for early PlayStation 4 models, which have notoriously flaky network adapters. Hold the Options key and click on the Network icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Keep in mind that your PS4 will need to use this proxy to access the internet.

The DNS servers you use determine which servers are resolved when you enter a web address. Some have theories that your choice of DNS servers affect which servers your console uses for downloads. The best way to do this is to change your DNS servers on your router, which will affect all devices on your network.

When was the last time you tested your internet speed? If your internet speed is slow to begin with, nothing you do to your PS4 is going to improve things. Test your connection using a laptop or desktop computer by going to Speedtest. Browse All iPhone Articles Browse All Mac Articles Do I need one?

I Currently have Uverse and when I downloaded the update via usb from another internet provider it works fine.

When I download the update from my place it said it would take 4 hours. I also tried to download the same file on my computer and same thing. I can download everything else on the internet just fine.

On my PS4 even Netflix does not dl properly. I talked to a agent at Sony and he said it's related to the service U-Verse I wanted to get your thoughts about it and see what else I can do? Was thinking of doing port forwarding to see if that would resolve the issue. Does the 2-Wire modem need a special setting with a PSN network? If this does not get resolved soon I'm moving back to Comcast and bringing my friends with me.

Please help!!!! This also applies when I download a game update on the PS4 the file is MB and said it would take 12 hours??????????? Accepted Solution. Official Solution. P no static addresses. Trying to figure out what is causing this.

It's a stumper. There is probably a problem identifying the correct download site for you. Do you have any tools, such as wireshark, that can tell you what IP address you're downloading from? I myself have this problem. Whenever I play online, I have no latency issues, it's just when I try and download an update or a game. The speeds are terrible. Any help is appreciated. Same issue. This is the third update that I cannot get via my Uverse internet.

I am having to resort to a Verizon Wireless hotspot in order to get the downloads in any acceptable timeframe. This is not acceptable. How can I get the downloads over 4G but my home internet cannot figure out how to connect or find the right server?

I have called three times. Hung up or disconnected from with no return call even though I gave my call back number. Ticked off is the least I can say about it. Just got disconnected from the Uverse queue for the 2nd time tonight. ATT please get it together. Here is my download status after 25 minutes. Less than 1 MB per minute. I have been having the same issue.

My PS4 updates would download fine, and my map packs for Call of Duty: Ghosts would download a bit slower, but fine. It went from saying it would take 14 hours to 30 minutes.
