In the event that your downloads start in full force but the speed gradually decreases, follow the steps below: If you want the best speed possible, download each file separately. Important! – Downloading multiple games/updates will translate into slower speeds. This is the equivalent of rebooting your PS4, but it’s infinitely quicker. But it has served me well so many times, so I decided to feature it. Method 3: Pausing and resuming a single download You take into account that the download speed of your PS4 can be seriously hurt if you have other devices tapping into that Internet network. You can do this by checking the bandwidth and making sure that you are getting enough according to your plan.Īnother thing you should do is to make sure your network isn’t too crowded. Before you get on with the fixes below, make sure your modem is powerful enough to support the download speeds guaranteed by your Internet Service Provider. This is even more likely if you’re working with an old or inexpensive modem or router.Įven though your ISP guarantees a certain amount of megabytes per second, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your modem can handle them all. The download speed on your PS4 could also be limited by your modem’s (router) bandwidth. Method 3: Making sure your modem has enough bandwidth Keep in mind that the Ethernet cable ends are interchangeable, so it doesn’t matter which side you plug into the router. If you want superior download speeds, you absolutely need to connect your PS4 to the internet with a cable. But even on the PS4 Pro, the download speeds on Wi-Fi will be considerably smaller than on an ethernet connection. While the PS4 Pro has a more powerful Wi-Fi receiver, the phat and slim versions don’t have the same capabilities.
Method 2: Using a wired ethernet connection If you aren’t prompted to update immediately, scroll down until you see an entry with System Software. Even though it won’t give you a dramatic increase in speed, it’s might still make a difference.Ī quick way to check if your PS4 console is running on the latest firmware is to connect it to the internet and open the notification bar. Over the last two years, I have seen at least 4 dashboard patches that claimed to have fixed this issue. You can’t blame Sony for not trying to address the download speed issue.
Method 1: Updating to the latest firmware I suggest you go through each method in order until you find a fix that actually helps. Keep in mind that not every fix will work for you. Without further ado, below you have a collection of methods that helped a lot of users to improve the download speeds on their PS4.
