How do I reset the WiFi on my PS4?

Answered by Jarrod Smith

To reset the WiFi on your PS4, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by turning on your PS4 and navigating to the Settings menu. You can do this by selecting the “Settings” option on the home screen.

2. Once you are in the Settings menu, scroll down and select the “Network” option.

3. In the Network menu, you will see various options related to network settings. Choose the “Set Up Internet Connection” option.

4. Next, you will be presented with a list of connection methods. Select the method that you use to connect to the internet, such as “Use Wi-Fi” or “Use a LAN Cable.”

5. If you choose to use Wi-Fi, you will then need to select your Wi-Fi network from the list of available networks. If your network does not appear, you can choose the “Enter Manually” option and input your network details.

6. After selecting your Wi-Fi network, you will need to enter the password for your network if it is secured. Use the on-screen keyboard to input the password accurately.

7. Once you have entered the password, select the “Next” button to proceed. Your PS4 will then attempt to connect to the Wi-Fi network.

8. If the connection is successful, you will see a message confirming that the connection has been established. You can then choose to test the internet connection to ensure everything is working correctly.

By going through these steps, you will essentially be resetting the Wi-Fi settings on your PS4. This process allows you to forget the previously saved network connection and set up a new one.

It’s worth noting that setting up a new Wi-Fi connection on your PS4 can be helpful in situations where you are experiencing network issues or want to connect to a different network, such as when moving your console to a new location or using a different Wi-Fi network.

In my personal experience, I have had to reset the Wi-Fi settings on my PS4 a few times when I moved to a new apartment and needed to connect to a new Wi-Fi network. The process outlined above was straightforward and allowed me to easily set up a new connection on my console.

To summarize, to reset the Wi-Fi on your PS4, you can access the network settings in the Settings menu, select “Set Up Internet Connection,” and follow the on-screen instructions to configure a new Wi-Fi connection.
