PlayStation 4 (PS4) download speed slow NETGEAR R7000p/BT HomeHub router solution

The basics

Ensure that you have:

  • the PS4 connected via Ethernet
  • tested that the connection is what you expect on another machine connected via Ethernet
  • I found this method as a fix for a BT HomeHub, but it also worked on my NETGEAR r7000p router

Try this

  • In router settings, set the IP address of the PS4 to static.

In NETGEAR Genie settings, this is in Advanced>LAN Setup>Address Reservation.

  • Enable DMZ server for the new static IP address of the PS4.

Once again, NETGEAR Genie has this in Advanced>WAN Setup>Default DMZ Server.

  • Allow the router to restart.

After following these steps, I noticed an instant jump from a download speed of ~13Mb/s to what I expected at around ~55Mb/s. I hope this helps someone.
