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.

Thanks. I gained 3 MBPS on my download and 2 on my upload. Not as much as some others on here but I will take it.

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.

Mine actually ended up being slower. May be one of those things that works for some, not for all. Also just in case you are wondering. I didn't have any other internet related applications running on the computer, and the computer was the only thing on the network during the time.
Before
Download: 45.6 mb/s
Upload 7.3 mb/s
After
Download: 21.3 mb/s
Upload 2.9 mb/s

So therefore it connects to a site faster. Where as speed tests download and upload a large file to determine your overall internet speed. Gaming is all about the ping anyway (which so many people misunderstand). You don't need 100mb line to get the best playing experience. Just a good ping. So this definitely does the job

Do a barrel roll!
It's Senseless only use the Right DNS Server. Maybe the Connection Speed are better, but the Connection quality is like the Same Shit befor. It doesn't matter u got 10, 20 or 50mb/s when your Firewall Ports are close and ur connection has an instable Ping.
Type: PS4+your Internet Provider+Your Network Router Brand and Typ in Google hit ENTER and read what you have to Do, to give your PS4 a static IP Adress and Open the Right Firewall Ports.
