I have been looking everywhere online and no one seems to be able to help.Īdditional info that might be helpful is I have a ps4 slim, my modem is on the first floor and my ps4 is on the second floor (there is an ethernet port in my room). That means your PS4 could be slowing down due to overheating, so Id check if there is any. Any help is appreciated I was looking forward to great speeds and was disappointed to see a downgrade instead of an upgrade. However, heat does affect the performance of any computer system. I believe it must be a setting on the modem that limits the speeds it gives to PlayStation or some sort of advanced setting somewhere causing that because the connection works for the most part and the PS4 also works. I also tried changing my DNS on the PS4 to no avail. Our previous plan with spectrum was slower but still gave higher speeds when wired to the ps4.
The cable is not the problem as we tried it on our pc and the speeds were good (900 up and down) and the ps4 is not the problem as we have 2 different ps4s having the same problem. When wired, I get speeds of 40mbps down and 40mbps up (on a good day) when we are paying for 1000 down and 1000 up. Select Rebuild Database, confirm the operation, then wait for it to complete.We recently got the AT&T fiber speeds at our house and it has been working well for the most part except for the wired connection to our PS4. After setting and screwing your PS4 hard drive to the board, run games on PS4 again to check whether your PS4 is running slow.
In my case and someone else said so too, you can 100 fix the issue by going into your network settings and either doing a connection test, or turning them on and off again. Step 4: Check the hard drive to make sure it is properly seated and screwed to the board. The PS4 menus lag at times where you hit the stick to move from side to side and it pauses and then goes really fast, or goes really slow. Power off the PS4 by holding the power button for at least seven seconds. A faulty hard drive can cause the PS4 system to slow considerably. Rebuilding the database will significantly boost your consoles performance and reduce freezing or lagging. For example, I was re-downloading games from my library to my PS4 Pro and this caused a massive lag when going on the PS Store and other areas. The PlayStation 4’s database begins to clog over time which makes it inefficient and slow. After you hear a second beep, your PS4 will boot into Safe Mode.Ĭonnect your controller to your system with a USB cable, then hit the PS Button on your controller so you can use it. PS4 is very slow Its slowest when I have something downloading or installing in the background but this never happened to my OG PS4.
Once the lights on your PS4 go out, press and hold the physical Power button on the front of your console for several seconds. To rebuild your PS4 system database, shut down your PS4 fully by holding the PS Button on your controller and selecting Power > Turn Off PS4 from the Quick Menu. Doing this will also cause your PS4 to check for updates for games you haven't played in a while, upon rebooting. While this probably won't improve your game performance, it reduces the home screen delays that are common with extended use of the PS4. Instead, it tells your system where relevant data is for your games and services, making for more efficient access. This process isn't as intensive as defragmenting your hard drive.
Your PS4 has a utility in its Safe Mode interface called Rebuild Database.
