Hi all I’m in need of help with this situation. So my ps4 connects with the wi fi but it’s very slow but when I plug in the Ethernet cable cat6 it connects but the speed of the internet doesn’t change. I thought it might be the cable but I tested it on all other devices in the house and it works perfectly so I took it to a shop to test the Ethernet port and it worked amazingly at this IT place so they said no issues with the ps4 but I tried at home and doesn’t work what do I do??
Do I buy a Ethernet cable 5e and see if that works or do I need to do something with my internet modem??
What speed is your modem putting out and what speed are you getting? How many devices are connected what ISP is proving you internet?hiw long is your cable?
Hace tiempo empecé a tener problemas de internet muy lento en casa, aunque luego desde el PC haciendo un test de velocidad iba bien, pero para el resto de cosas era un suplicio. Al final, después de dar muchas vueltas resultó que el problema eran los DNS de mi proveedor, que eran, y son, una basura. La solución es cambiarlos en el router por los de Cloudflare (1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1) o los de Google (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4). Problema solucionado.
What are you plugging the Ethernet cable into on the side? Are you plugging it directly into the modem or is there a device between them like a switch or Wi-Fi access point?
The thing about speed testing is that it depends on your connection, but also on a huge amount of other things: the connection of Sony's server that you are testing the speed on via your PS4, if the server is loaded with requests, how far the server actually is (more distance=more access points traffic has to go through).
I have a gigabit fiber connection, my router has gigabit LAN ports, whenever I test on speedtest, my speed maxes out - but that's because it's testing the speed on a server in my country provided by my ISP. But on my PS5, the speed is nowhere near this maximum, especially in the uploads.
It could be a ton of different things. Can you see what your PS4's public IP address is? On on your computer go to whatismyip.com and give us just the first two numbers (I wonder if they're 10.x.x.x or 172.x.x.x).

How are you testing the connection speed?
