Psn Slow Download Speed Fix

Hello To All:
I just upgraded my internet speed to 150/150 with Verizon Fios, last Friday. Speed Test, via ethernet is upper 140s down and low 150s up on my Verizon modem. The boys had an old Netgear router and their speed tests were significantly slower than what the main modem/router was putting out. I decided to upgrade to a Netgear AC1200. Setup was easy enough, the speed tests on the boys computers concurred with what I was getting from the main modem/router.
An issue has occurred whereby one of my boys is getting kicked off of gaming, NBA2016, at the end of games. When we did an internet connection test, via the PS4, he is getting 145mps upload and less than 10mps download. Do you feel it is something within the PS4 or could it be the fact that I changed the router? He states that he has never been kicked off of a game before. Is it possible that PS4 is unable to handle the faster internet speed? Thanks in advance.

OK so I ran a speed test on my computer and my PS3. The results were stunning!

  • Computer: 14.12 Mbps
  • PS3: 0.89 Mbps

When I ran this test I disconnected all devices except for the one that was running the test.

Is the PS3's network card just bad, is it the browsers slow Flash rendering, or the browser itself?

I'd recommend using a wired connection with the ps3, especially if you live in a densely populated neighborhood. The reason I say this is not even about speed, but about reliabilty.

The ps3 wireless is 802.11g, which operates at roughly the same frequency as microwave ovens, and a lot of other stuff. If you're just browsing from a PC, you might not even notice a momentary network glitch, but when you get dropped out of an on-line game session and lose a bucketful of XP, you will notice.

I had a similar problem. My PS3 was connected wirelessly to my network. The base station was in my office, at the other end of the house. I would get abysmally low bandwidth when streaming internally or from the internet.

My solution was to move my base station into the entertainment center and connect the PS3 to it via ethernet. Ever since, I've not noticed any bandwidth problems. Everything downloads lickity-split.

Try this simple fix... Go to 'network settings', go to the bottom of the list where it says 'media server connection' and disable it. Now run a test. My speeds when from around 1mg down to 9.

PS3 is flakey. I have a slim model now, but i also had one of the launch PS3s until it yellow lighted on me. Previously i was getting great speeds but now not so much.

Previous setup had great speed running on a wireless Linksys WRT54GSolid almost 6mbs down connection. which is what i was paying for at the time.

Eventually I went to a Trendnet TEW-652BRP N draft 2, and my wifi speeds were terribad.

So i set up a client bridge using the WRT54G and voila my speeds were 10x faster than using the PS3 wireless connection, even though it was still wireless, having the PS3 plugged into a secondary router using it as a wifi adapter seriously took it from about 0.5mbps to 5mbps. You may wonder why i did it this way, well not only did i plug the PS3 in wired, i also plugged my xbox 360 and Panasonic Viera Cast TV all to the secondary router while the primary router was in the office connected to the desktop and a network share(HDD). No need to buy the $80 M$ wifi adapter for the xbox360.

Since then i upgraded to a 16mbps/7mbps service and relocated the primary router to the living room since most of the activity happens there, and decided to just use a wireless N adapter on my desktop. I also upgraded to a Cisco/Linksys E3000.

However my PS3 is only getting 2.7mbps down on average wired, even though my PCs are getting 11-15 mbps wireless. Oddly the PS3 is getting consistent 4.3 Mbps up and occasionally can hit 8Mbps down. Still a far cry from the low end 11 that my wireless PCs get.

edit. HA! Just ran another speed test using the Internet Connection Test in the XMB19.3 Mbps down2.2 Mbps up

I didn't change a thing.

Maybe the PS3 connection test software is just whack.

It's an issue that only affects its internet browser. I stream HD video from my computer wirelessly to my PS3 and everything goes really smooth.

Copied and pasted my answer from here:

If you are having device-specific issues, it's most likely your router. I know that DD-wrt firmware routers have special options that optimize gaming performance. I would take a look at this article:

It goes over the general tweaks you can do to increase the performance of your PS3 (for both wired and wireless connections).

Some mentioned tweaks / solutions:

  • Enable UPnP. This should tell your router what ports to forward. If this is not enabled, you can manually forward the ports after giving your PS3 a static IP. The ports are TCP ports 80, 443, 5223 and UDP ports 3658, and 3478-3479.
  • Setting up your PS3 in a DMZ (demilitarized zone) could help. How-to is mentioned in the article.
  • Update the firmware on your router. Personally, I think dd-wrt is awesome, so if your router supports it, I'd recommend you go with that.

Aside from that, you might be better off getting a new router that can deal with the different level of traffic a console creates.

Check your PS3 Network settings. I'm using TrendNet's powerline adapters to run two PS3's. It's better than wireless.

The other day I did a Windows update and after restart I could not connect to either. I thought it was Java proble (however I had recently installed the latest). I also had the most recent PMS version (1.80). In the end I believe recsetting my adapters helped but the point to all this is one PS3 was extremely slow. Video was unwatchable when before it was fine. In all my trouble the one PS3 seemed to lose it's network settings. After setting up I realized after many hour that I simply entered information incorrectly. After comparing setups I changed the one to same as the other with the exception of the IP. Now it works great.

There are many factors like java memory too and PMS settings that can help you video run better. If on wirelss, strongly suggest wired or powerline.
