DualShock 4 interferences

[Sergi8]

Hello,
I haven't find any solutions online, just thoughts and opinions.
So I'm gonna explain my problem:

Everytime I start my DS4 (cabled or not) my internet just goes down (even WiFi, even wired)
The point is: people suggest to change my WiFi Channel to solve this, but actually (as far as I know) the DS4 has bluetooth signal

So what is causing this?
It pisses me off when I try to play with PS Now on my PC, since the connection goes from 90/100mbps to just 2/3
Even with the latest PS4Ren I can't use it properly as it lags (due to the interferences)

Does anybody know any solution for this?
Thanks in advice

Moved to PS4 Hacking & Homebrew.

PlayStation Discussions is a review, PS4 Console legit only, not be hacked, no piracy...

Sorry about that
Btw, except for PS4 Ren all the other stuff is legit
And this is kinda a "Help" thread

The PlayStation 4 controller uses Bluetooth which operates on the 2.4 GHz band on which also WiFi b/g/n operates. Both technologies use the same frequency field and cause interferences for each other.

The PlayStation 4 supports 5 GHz a/n/ac WiFi which doesn't interfere with 2.4 GHz BT and WiFi. You would need a router that supports 5 GHz WiFi to fix the issue.

What router are you using? I know that the BT interference on 2.4 GHz can greatly cause the WiFi not work but to be honest I never heard and also never experienced that BT would cause even wired clients to go dead. Sounds more like the router cannot handle the interference and dies or shutsdown into some kind of emergency mode.


I only experienced ultra bad WiFi when I still had 2.4 GHz only WiFi and started using BT on my phone. It just totally stopped the Internet on my phone from working but wired clients and other WiFi clients were still ok. I however now have 5 GHz WiFi and even on 2.4 GHz the interference is not so bad anymore (probably because the router autotunes to channels that are off the exact spectrum where BT operates on 2.4 GHz).
