[Solved] PS4 Poor Link Speed with Fiber Internet (600/600 Mbps): ASUS RT-AC58U Router Connection Issue

Hello. My problem is that I have a fiber internet connection from Inea with a connection speed of 600/600 Mbs. Since I play online games on ps4, I bought an asus rt ac58u router and connected everything to the modem from the operator via a cable, no connection via wifi. The distances are small, about 20-30 cm of the cable. And the case is that on ps 4 it displays max 400/100 link speed, but in most tests 250/80 and less, while when a laptop is connected to the same cable, it shows 650/540 and nothing less and a delay of 3 ms. Hence my question about what it is all about because I have no idea what to change in the router settings so that you can play. How is such a loss on ps4. Thanks in advance for your help.

On the PS4 console, the connection speed is measured between the console and the Sony servers. The speed measured on the PS4 may have nothing to do with the speed of the internet connection provided by your operator. How do you measure speed on your pc? If you use, for example, speedtest.net, the system defaults to the speed to the nearest server (maybe even in Inea) - so the results will be completely different.

Except that the bandwidth itself has little impact, and basically no effect on online games. Here, ping and link stability are more important.

The speed on the pc was actually measured on the speed test ... but I am a little surprised that on the console this link speed jumps a lot because sometimes I do a test and it is like I wrote above, and yesterday I had, for example, 170/10 it is a tragedy and no you can then speak of a fluid online game. I wonder if I need to change something in the router or just forget about the smooth ps4 game. As for the router, I made a fixed ip address for the console and dmz, so I don't know what else to change.

Interesting - what did ping look like back then?

I guess he was not too interesting because when playing, the shade was felt quite noticeably.

Did you check it or just if you had? The game servers could also be the reason.

I didn't check because I can't check ping on ps4 as far as I know

You can always check ping registration from your computer to Sony servers such as WinMTR or PingPloter and you can compare yourself.

Thanks for the hint because I didn't even know. And there is someone from the vicinity of Gniezno who is familiar with such topics, if it is to be done, but I do not want to believe that it is impossible to play smoothly with fiber optics.

This is not the fault of the fiber, but the path your packet travels to the server your game connects to. You don't know if there are any bottlenecks along the way that are causing problems in the operation of the game.

Imagine the PS4 is an F1 car, optical fiber is the highway you will be moving. Suppose you will be traveling from Gniezno to Moscow. The highway operator allows you to drive 140 per hour, but will not guarantee that if you exit the highway onto the regular road, you can still drive 140 per hour. It is the same with fiber optic links. The operator will guarantee you speed, but within your infrastructure, on the lines of other operators, it may be slower and you do not have much influence on it.

Check the pings to Sony's servers while playing the game.

Ok today I will try to check the ping and thanks for explaining the problem in a simple way. greetings

Witam.I checked ping and jumps from 30 to 80. And I read a little on various forums and some write that you need to change private ip to public ip, can anyone confirm it?

In general, it doesn't matter if the address is public or private (in your home network you probably won't be generating traffic that exceeds your router's NAT capabilities). You can disconnect all equipment connected to the Inea modem and connect only the PS4 console directly. See if there is any improvement, maybe your modem will get a public IP address on this connection. Connecting an additional Asus modem behind the Inea equipment will introduce delays, but probably not more than 1ms (with cable connection).

If you have the IP addresses of the Sony servers, you can report to the operator that you are having problems with long pings to these servers. If you are lucky and your report goes to some clever engineer, maybe he will check the routes and convert the traffic to Sony using a link from another operator on which it will work better. Little chance they'll do something - but you can try.

Hello. Problem solved after long fights. For posterity, if someone had such a station, I recommend that you call your internet service provider to change the private ip to public and it will be great. In addition, in the router options, add consoles to dhcp, so that the ip console is constant and redirect ports in my case, these were the ports from the PES 2019 game. Regards and thanks for the hints.

Hello. I have PS4 consoles and fiber optic internet. In order to improve the conduct of online games, I have purchased an additional router of your company. Additionally, I asked the operator to assign a public IP address. The problem is that after the automatic configuration of your equipment, online gaming is of lower quality than when you connect only the operator's router to the ps4 console. I have the ASUS router connected to the operator's WAN input, and then from the LAN output of the ASUS router to the console's LAN input. Also, I believe the connection is correct; the length of the wires also cannot affect because it is a distance of about 50 cm. I have the IP on the router of the INEA operator 192.168.1.1 on the ASUS IP WAN router shows 192.168.1.66 LAN IP 192.168.2.1 while the PS4 IP console 192.168.2.70. Additionally, I set DMZ to consoles and manually assigned IP to ps4 consoles. This configuration causes difficulties in the game in the form of lags. The situation changes when I connect the PS4 directly to the INEA operator's router. Operator's IP unchanged 192.168.1.1, while the console receives IP 192.168.1.68. After such a change, i.e. without the use of an ASUS router, online gameplay is flawless. I would not like to give up your product because I think that the problem is a wrong configuration, but I don't know how to do it correctly, because I think that the correct configuration could further improve the online gameplay. I do not know if the problem is these changes to the IP address or DNS gateways or there is another problem, so please help me quickly. Thanks in advance for solving the problem. greetings
The above text is an email to the ASUS service center, I paste it here, because maybe someone can answer my question? greetings

With the 600/600 connection, you rather drowned the money, with a symmetrical connection, and so you are not able to saturate the connection enough for something to stick. All these QOSes or other gaming functions apply more to cable cables where you have 500Mb / s download but 30Mb / s upload. All its mechanisms deteriorate rather than improve the operation of the network in the case of a symmetrical link.

You have a private IP on Asus, you need to switch the operator's equipment to bridge mode.

Can I set this bridge mode on my own or do I have to call the operator. By the way, my operator received this message too, but he hasn't answered me yet.

I don't know how it works in Inea. Call and ask.

Ok thanks for your help. greetings

Replacing the router with ZTE and zero lag, you have to push INEA a little, threaten with the termination of the contract and give you decent equipment.
