Your internet connection shares its bandwidth among all your devices. Downloading a file on your laptop or streaming Netflix in 4K on another device can slow things down. For maximum speed, pause any other downloads and streams and let your PS4 consume all the bandwidth it wants.

Queuing up multiple downloads on your PS4 has a similar effect. One of the quickest ways of increasing your download speed is to kill any running processes. If it feels like your PS4 is dragging its heels over a large update or new game download, this tip might help move things along. It will take a few moments for your download to start again, but this time around it should hopefully download even quicker and display a shorter estimated download time.

You can try this multiple times, especially if you notice the speed dip again. For best results close all applications before you enable rest mode, as described at the start of this article. Before you put your PS4 into rest mode, you must enable background internet access so that your download will continue while your machine is in standby.

Wireless networks can be slow and prone to interference. For a far more stable network connection, ditch wireless altogether and use an Ethernet cable instead. The original PS4 is notoriously bad for its wireless connection, but a wired connection will improve performance on both the Slim and Pro hardware revisions too.

If your router is close to your console, this is an easy fix. But what if your PS4 and router are in different rooms, or on different floors? Ethernet powerline adapters allow you to use the cables that are already in your walls. For many of us, wireless networks are the only option.
