Re: [PS4] Troubleshooting Guide

1. What ports should be forwarded for the PS4 console?

When using PSN at an office or other location with a shared network, a firewall or other security measures might prevent you from connecting to PSNSM. If this occurs, refer to the following information. 
With PSN, you connect with a PSNSM server using the Internet, or connect directly with other PS4™ systems. The following port numbers are used to connect with the PSN servers using the Internet. 

TCP: 80, 443, 1935, 3478, 3479, 3480 
UDP: 3478, 3479 

When competing with other players in an online game, you connect directly with other PS4™ systems. A different port number is used each time you connect. 

Communication might be restricted depending on the security functions provided by your router or Internet service provider. Refer to the instructions supplied with the network device in use, and information from your Internet service provider.

    2. Setting up connection to the Internet with your PS4 and NAT types

    You can connect to the Internet with the PS4™ system by using a LAN cable (for a wired connection) or Wi-Fi (for a wireless connection). 
    Select Network > Setp Up Internet Connection, and then follow the screens to adjust settings. 

    • Internet connection settings vary depending on the network environment and devices you use. Prepare the items necessary for the network environment you use, such as a LAN cable or an access point. 
    • Depending on the network environment you use, additional settings such as the proxy server or IP address might be necessary. For further information, refer to the information from your Internet service provider and the instructions supplied with the network device in use. 

    Connecting with a LAN cable (for a wired connection) 

    Select [Use a LAN Cable]. If you select [EASY] and follow the screens, the standard settings are automatically selected. 

    Connecting with Wi-Fi (for a wireless connection) 

    Select [Use Wi-Fi]. If you select [EASY], saved access points and access points that have been found appear. Select the access point you want to connect to, and then adjust the settings. 

    • When you are using an access point that supports WPS, AOSS or Rakuraku WLAN Start®, you can save that access point in just a few easy steps. AOSS and Rakuraku WLAN Start® are available only in certain countries and regions. 
    • If the access point you want to connect to is not found, select [Set Up Manually], and then adjust the settings.
