Router and Wi-Fi Issues
Router and Wi-Fi Issues
Your issue stems from differences in network setup and signal quality. At your old place, you had a stable wired connection via Ethernet, while now the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is weak. The owner's router likely uses a Gigabit Ethernet port, which offers better speeds than standard Wi-Fi. To improve your Ps4 speed, consider using a wired connection with a Gigabit Ethernet cable or switching to a 5GHz Wi-Fi network if available. If the router isn't working, try connecting it directly to your Ps4 via USB or checking for interference from other devices.
The 5GHz offers speed and handles many devices well, but it struggles with distance and walls. If your PS4 is too far away, that could be an issue. For the wall Ethernet port to function properly, you'll need your landlord to install it correctly in the router, which might not be possible right now. You can suggest helping them set it up so the port works. The next best choice would be a very long Ethernet cable. I have a 15-meter cable that works perfectly and stays on the floor, but your mileage could differ, and your landlord may not permit that.
