PSN Download Issues (ISP DNS issue)

[MScarpa]

Never created a thread. Sorry in advance.This is just a heads up. People including myself are having issues with downloading games through PSN store and/or re-downloading a purchased game, PSPLUS etc. Game queuing but not showing up. Slow PSN store, etc.

The current fix is settings - network - setup internet connection - highlight your wifi network and click advanced settings - change primary DNS 8.8.8.8 secondary 8.8.4.4 click OK and restart ps5. Hope this helps.

This is crappy ISP DNS issue, not an PSN issue.

OK. Just passing along the issue people are having. It's not just me. Check out the Playstation reddit and you'll see.

This happens time to time, not a PSN issue.

This is an ISP issue. I had it on both PS3 and PS4 years ago under a different provider. Once I changed provider, it never happened again.

So all the people having this issue have the same ISP!? There are multiple reddit posts on this issue. Sorry I don't know how to post screenshots.

FYI never had this issue before. This is the same service provider for the past 6 years.

that's not a PSN issue, it's a DNS issue which is an internet infrastructure issue which will typically be with your ISP or whatever internet provider they are renting their bandwidth from. If it were a PSN issue it would affect everyone in your region.

The funny thing is these days Most/All ISP's Use/Rent the lines/routs as there are only a few Main ISP leaders around the world (Yay consolidation)
With the main leaders renting out the networks to others big and small companies, so must of the networks in each area are shared networks.
Most the time you can fix this at home by changing DNS/DMZ/QoS settings

The Best Router Settings for PlayStation Gaming [PS4/PS5]

Do you want to optimise your router for gaming on PS4/PS5 PlayStation? Here are the best router settings for PS4/PS5 console gaming.

If all else fails contacting your ISP and informing them of the situation and if they say they are unable to help say you want to change networks.
Most the time (not always) when you say that they will change there tune and jump through hoops to help you out so you stay as a customer.

Did your PS5 shows NAT Type 2?
If not then that is the issue… and it is router (your own network) configutation.
