Sable Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hi. Is there any difference with changing DNS in the PS4 network settings? There are a lot of YouTube videos out there stating so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspect of Wrath Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 No its snake oil it does not help with ping and if you put a dns server that is far from you it could add to the lag. I used to think this and used googles dns but it made it more laggy my default dns was better. If you insist on using a diffrent dns i suggest using a program that tells you the fastest dns in your location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex49H Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I used that program Benchmark to find the fastest DNS servers closest to me but only use them in my router. Doesn’t make gaming any better putting them in the console, just like Wrath says it will add lag or make it worse. Those vids on YT, don’t believe everything people say or publish.

Nah man I don’t believe most of the bullshit on there but just wanted other opinions as to weather it makes a difference or not, an always up for testing new settings.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 5, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 5, 2020 The only thing it is likely to do is make loading websites slightly faster, when I say slightly I mean I'd be surprised if you noticed it. It will not make a difference to your gaming performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinel Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 somthing i did notice from tryong many diffrent dns servers ip using my isp dns made my ps4 speeds more consistant in ps4 tests before the speed test results would constantl be diffrent But with my isp dns it would be better and i only ever used one dns eg 79.79.79.79 I put this in twice on ps4 for primary and secondary As i read somwhere that use the same dns twice Using 2 difrrent ones causes problems Eg 79.79.79.79 79.79.79.80 this is meant to be bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
