Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hey, welcome to the forum! Are you getting connections on your other devices? Where are you seeing this proxy message, could you take a screenshot please? Do you know if you require PPPoE to gain a connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted August 7, 2020 Ah okay, all you need to do is make it use automatic connection settings, there is no need to set any manual changes and then it will connect fine.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted August 7, 2020 It should only be asking you for proxy if you're selecting the custom option. If you're choosing easy as per this guide https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/get-help/help-library/playstation-network--online/internet-connection/how-to-connect-your-ps4-to-the-internet-and-playstation-network/ and it is still asking you for it then just bypass that and just choose test connection instead.

RedBull2k Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 @Leet Can you access the r2 gui? from another device? Did you set your connection settings as DHCP in r2, Do any of the r2 features work like connection benchmark? One of the reasons your ps4 is asking questions is becasue your r2 is a new gateway/router compared to that of the r1 and or bt hub. Bypass and dont test connection, then goto network settings on ps4 to view it and take a picture and send it here. you should have an ip address simular to 192.168.77.? How do you normally set up ps4? if manual then remeber the local ip addresss of r2 is 192.168.77.1 and not 88.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted August 7, 2020 If you look on the R1 at your WAN Settings is it using anything there that you haven't set on the R2? Do you have internet on any other devices connected to the R2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
