There are many ways to increase the speed of download of the PS4, one of them and perhaps the most obvious is improving the data plan of our Internet provider, which despite being obvious is also one of the most efficient.
But if you want other efficient ways that also allow you to increase the download speed in the PS4 pay attention to the following:
Place the PS4 console closer to your Wi-Fi router.
Pause and resume the download.Use a wired internet connection directly to the console instead of Wi-Fi. Many times the speed of the internet is much better when you've direct connection to the console.

Put the PS4 in sleep mode.
One of the possibly more expensive would be to buy a better Wi-Fi router with improved range.
Use power line adapters in your home.
Now, since we know in a basic way how we can increase the speed of download in the PS4, we'll detail each of them well to define which is the most efficient and which can generate a better result in our case when the speed of Download on our PS4 merme.
How to increase the download speed of PS4: for a price.
Almost all Internet service providers usually offer speed plans for their clients, obviously this isn't free, depending on the plan you choose, the cost of the service will depend on it.
But if the thing is for costs, then there are several ways to increase the download speed of your PS4, then we highlight the following:
Pay for a faster Internet service, perhaps by fiber broadband (the one just mentioned), almost 100% security of the increase in download speed.
Use a direct cable connection to the console instead of Wi-Fi, connect it directly to your router.
Using power line adapters in your home will make a wired connection possible anywhere.
Fortunately the PS4 can connect to the Internet through a wireless connection or a cable connected directly to your router, so if you can have a direct cable connection dedicated to your PS4 we recommend using this option, and if you also increase the speed in your internet you'll have a rocket of downloads.
But of course if you've a wireless configuration in your home with incredible speed you can discard this option.
Another way to increase the download speed on your PS4 by having your PS4 console close to the Wi-Fi router, although here you should have some care, or rather caution, it's believed that the proximity of routers with respect to to other electronic devices can cause interference and breakdown of the components in the routers. So, if your console is close enough to your router, again we recommend you pass a cable that communicates the router with the PS4.
You can also invest in Powerline network adapters, these are smart devices that will allow you to connect to your router through your power cables, but this option is not viable for households with a defective or damaged wiring. If it's your case, discard it.
Other ways to increase the download speed on the PS4 are:
Use a new DNS.
Use the sleep mode on your PS4.
Pause and resume the download on your PS4.
These options to increase the download speed have no additional cost, but there are many possibilities of not achieving an optimal result, but nothing is lost with trying so don't discard the first time.
Use another DNS.
This falls into the category 'has helped some people' and requires some tweaks in the configuration of your PS4. It has been reported that changing DNS settings to use Google's DNS server increases the download speed of PS4.
If you want to try, here's how to do it:
First of all, you'll have to open the "Settings" tab, open the "Network" option, select "Configure Internet connection" on the Network screen, then you'll have to select Wifi or LAN.
Wi-Fi is for wireless connections, while for LAN you'll need to have a cable that extends from your PS4 to a network point.
Tap "Customize" to allow the entry of your own network configuration.
Now place the following configurations, with the DNS as key points to consider:
IP address configuration =
Automatic DHCP hostname = Do not specify
DNS configuration =
Manual primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4
MTU configuration:
Automatic proxy server: Do not use
Turn off wait about 10 seconds and then turn on your PS4 again and the download speeds should have improved a bit.
Another free solution is to put your PS4 in sleep mode for a few minutes, this sometimes causes the speed of the download to increase.
But first set the sleep mode in the following way:
Go back to "Settings", then "Settings for energy saving", then "Set functions available in idle mode".
Check the box that says "Stay connected to the Internet" so that your PS4 can continue downloading files when you are in Sleep Mode.
Press and hold the PlayStation button to open the quick menu. From here, select Power and then choose 'Enter Rest Mode'. Your PS4 will enter a low power mode and continue to download files.
Pause and Resume Your PS4 Download and the speed should improve a bit.
