What does any of that even mean? Hahaha. Changing the channel, good idea to avoid interference however wouldn't improve a single PS4. What is he going to port forward? Do you even know what that means?

Wifi repeater is the most logical thing to do here as suggested by 50,000 other people. Ethernet lead from router to PS4 is by far the best option with Wifi repeater coming 2nd.

Changing the channel can help PS4 since it will lessen wireless interference and so more packets will actually reach the console, portforwarding will help because traffic can be automatically sent straight to the console before any other devices connected making in game speeds quicker and more reliable too.

i have a feeling you dont know what you are talking about...

Port forwarding will literally help console's NAT type, great if his NAT type is strict, will literally make no difference if it's open or moderate. This is literally my job in what we're talking about so behave yourself.

@Nasyr You used to work for an ISP, cool. As mentioned PF will change literally nothing on the LAN unless his consoles NAT type is strict. And which in this case, bouncing the router will resolve this. Not a clue what up/down speeds have to do with the LAN? Signal to noise ratio is out of the OP's control, again this has nothing to do with the wireless onsite.

As I mentioned, a wifi repeater will be more than sufficient. There is literally no point in bringing up all this network talk for improving the wireless reliability to a PS4

Well to be honest the OP hasn't given any real means of information since he said the signal is poor in his room. I'm basically trying to establish if there is perhaps something else that could be causing the issue. You simply go for powerlines but failed to inform him that if his house really old and the upstairs is on a seperate powerline then adpaters don't work since it's two different cables for downstairs and upstaits.

Wifi repeater not powerline adaptor. They're two different things. Wifi repeater extends the wireless signal whilst a powerline adaptor allows you to wire your device in via the powerlines within your home.

Not being an arse or anything, but honestly, a wifi repeater is the way to go!

Me personally I'd for wired anything. Everything I have that can take an ethernet has one.

Yeah I completely agree. However I believe new IEEE standards will take wired over in the future

Get Virgin Active and maybe also use an Ethernet cable.
