Wi-Fi Boosters for PS4: Improve the Console?s Connection

If the PS4 has weak Wi-Fi because of distance or walls, an extender may help. Consider a wired Ethernet connection where a cable can reach.

A Wi-Fi booster for PS4 can extend a router?s coverage towards the console, but it cannot guarantee lower latency or faster downloads. Online play also depends on broadband quality, congestion, server location and the console?s connection.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Will a Wi-Fi booster help my PS4 connection?

It may improve coverage if weak Wi-Fi between console and router is the issue. It cannot fix slow broadband, congestion or server problems.

Is Ethernet better than a Wi-Fi booster for PS4?

A direct Ethernet connection is worth considering when you can run a cable. An extender?s backhaul still matters.

Can a Wi-Fi extender reduce PS4 lag?

It may help when weak signal causes instability, but lag can also come from congestion, broadband or server conditions.

Where should I put a Wi-Fi booster for PS4?

Place it between router and console where it still receives a strong router signal, then check the console connection.
