To fix a PS5 that won’t connect to the internet, first try restarting both your PS5 and your router, then move the PS5 closer to the router or use an Ethernet cable.<\/em> <\/span><\/h3>\n

If that doesn’t work, try re-entering your Wi-Fi password or manually setting up the connection and adjusting the DNS settings to public ones like 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.<\/p>\n

\n

1. Initial Troubleshooting (The Basics)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before adjusting advanced settings, always try these first:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Check PSN Status:<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Verify the PlayStation Network (PSN) servers are not down for maintenance or experiencing issues by checking the official <\/span>PlayStation Network Status<\/span><\/b> website.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      Power Cycle Everything:<\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Turn off your <\/span>PS5<\/span><\/b> completely (not Rest Mode).3<\/sup><\/span> Unplug your modem<\/b> and router<\/b> for at least 60 seconds. Plug them back in, let them fully boot up, and then turn on your PS5 and try connecting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n

        Use a Wired Connection:<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • If you are using Wi-Fi, temporarily connect your PS5 directly to the router using an <\/span>Ethernet cable<\/span><\/b>.4<\/sup><\/span> If this works, the problem is with your Wi-Fi signal or settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n

          2. Advanced Network Settings Fixes<\/span><\/h2>\n

          If basic troubleshooting fails, you can try manually configuring your connection using Advanced Settings<\/b>. The most common fix here is changing the DNS settings<\/b> to use a public server, which can bypass issues with your Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) default servers.<\/p>\n

          How to Change DNS Settings<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
            \n
          1. Go to Settings<\/b> (gear icon on the top right).<\/li>\n
          2. Select Network<\/b> $\\rightarrow$<\/span> Settings<\/b> $\\rightarrow$<\/span> Set Up Internet Connection<\/b>.<\/li>\n
          3. Select your desired network (Wi-Fi or Wired LAN).<\/li>\n
          4. Press the Options button<\/b> on your controller $\\rightarrow$<\/span> select Advanced Settings<\/b>.<\/li>\n
          5. Set DNS Settings<\/b> to Manual<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
            \n

            Server Name<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

            		\n

            Primary DNS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

            		\n

            Secondary DNS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

            		\n

            Notes<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

            Google Public DNS<\/b><\/td>\n8.8.8.8<\/code><\/td>\n8.8.4.4<\/code><\/td>\nMost common fix for connection errors and slow speeds.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
            Cloudflare DNS<\/b><\/td>\n1.1.1.1<\/code><\/td>\n1.0.0.1<\/code><\/td>\nOften provides excellent speed and privacy.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
              \n
            1. Enter the Primary and Secondary DNS values, then select OK<\/b> (or Done<\/b>).<\/li>\n
            2. Go back to Test Internet Connection<\/b> to check if the issue is resolved.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Other Advanced Settings to Check<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
                \n
              • \n

                IP Address Settings:<\/b><\/h4>\n
                  \n
                • Typically, leave this set to Automatic<\/b>. If you use a static IP setup, ensure the details (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway) are correct for your home network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
                • \n

                  MTU Settings:<\/b><\/h4>\n
                    \n
                  • <\/b> Leave this set to Automatic<\/b> (default value is 1500). Only change this to Manual<\/b> and set the value to 1473<\/b> if you suspect a very specific packet size issue, but this is rarely necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
                  • \n

                    Wi-Fi Frequency Band:<\/b><\/h4>\n
                      \n
                    • If you are using Wi-Fi, try going back to the connection setup menu and setting the Wi-Fi Frequency Band<\/b> from Automatic<\/b> to either 5 GHz<\/b> (for speed, if close to the router) or 2.4 GHz<\/b> (for range, if far from the router).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                      \n

                      3. Last Resort Solutions<\/span><\/h2>\n
                        \n
                      • \n

                        Check Router Settings (NAT Type):<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n
                          \n
                        • If the PS5 connects but can’t play online games, your router’s <\/span>NAT Type<\/span><\/b> might be too strict (Type 3).<\/span> Log into your router’s settings and look for a setting like UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)<\/b> and ensure it is enabled<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
                        • \n

                          System Software Update:<\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n
                            \n
                          • Ensure your PS5’s system software is up to date (Settings<\/b> $\\rightarrow$<\/span> System<\/b> $\\rightarrow$<\/span> System Software<\/b> $\\rightarrow$<\/span> System Software Update and Settings<\/b>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
