How to Fix It When PS4 Won’t Connect to Wi-Fi

There’s nothing more frustrating than a PlayStation 4 that can’t get online when you want to play a game, update your system, download a new title, or watch a movie. There are multiple reasons why this is happening, and some are more complex than others. We have possible causes and solutions below.

Causes of PS4 Not Connecting to the Internet

There may be numerous reasons why your PS4 won’t connect to the internet, but these are some of the most common problems:

• The PlayStation Network (PSN) is offline.
• Your Wi-Fi network lost internet connectivity.
• You’re attempting to connect with an invalid username or password.
• The DNS settings on your PS4 aren’t configured correctly.
• The distance between your PS4 and the wireless router is too far, causing intermittent signal loss.

How to Fix It When Your PS4 Won’t Connect to Wi-Fi

Follow the recommendations below to get your PS4 console connected to the internet again.

1. Check the status of the PlayStation Network. If PSN is offline, it’s not going to matter whether the console can connect to Wi-Fi. So, check its status as an initial step. Gamers often misdiagnose PSN outages as a problem with their network connectivity, which can cause unnecessary confusion.

If you’re unsure how to power these devices on and off, refer to the devices’ manuals or to your service provider’s customer support.

Fully power down the console and turn it back on, as opposed to entering Rest Mode and then waking up the console’s operating system.

The process of determining the correct password for your Wi-Fi network varies depending on the hardware and configuration. Refer to your modem or router manual or your service provider’s customer support if you don’t know how to locate or change the Wi-Fi password.

To connect a PS4 controller to iPhone, turn on Bluetooth on the iPhone. On the controller, press and hold the PlayStation button and Share button simultaneously. The light on the controller will blink, signaling that it’s ready to pair. You’ll see the PS4 on the iPhone Bluetooth settings screen.

To connect a PS4 controller to Android, press and hold the PlayStation button and Share button simultaneously on your controller. The controller light will blink. On your Android device, tap Bluetooth > Wireless Controller. If asked if you want to pair the controller with your device, tap Yes or OK.

To connect AirPods to a PS4, put your AirPods in syncing mode and pair them to a Bluetooth adapter like Twelve South AirFly Duo. On the PS4, go to Settings > Devices > Audio Devices and ensure Output Device is set to Headphones Connected to Controller and Output to Headphones is set to All Audio.
