Re: Playstation 4 common problem with Plusnet?

How about if I use these instead?:
Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS = 8.8.4.4

I see no reason why not so long as they are valid address. As in valid DNS resolvers.

Re: Playstation 4 common problem with Plusnet?

Hi do you know how to input a Static IP address in the DHCP for this router and put it into DMZ?

Re: Playstation 4 common problem with Plusnet?

In your browser, enter the default address for the router http://tplinkmodem.net and when the login screen appears enter the default username and password which is    admin    for both of them.
Once logged in -
To set up a Static address, on the LH menu, select DHCP Server then select Address Reservation.
Enter the required information - page 45 para.4.6.3 of the manual refers. You may need to click refresh. Note the chosen IP address must be within the defined DHCP Server range. (see DHCP Settings para.4.6.1 in the manual).
To set up DMZ, on the LH menu, select Forwarding, then select DMZ. Select Enable and enter the chosen IP address for the chosen console. Click Save.  See p82 para.4.13.3 in the manual.
uPnP is the next item in the LH menu if you require it.  Click Enable if necessary.  See para.4.13.4 in the manual.
HTH.

Yes, assuming you haven't change the ranges yourself.

Re: Playstation 4 common problem with Plusnet?

Ye I haven't changed the ranges.
Which IP address shall I use?
I cannot use these ranges below that member Mook posted earlier?:
192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.99
192.168.1.200 > 192.168.1.253

This one will be fine. Does it now work as you hope?

I think that one is out of the DHCP server range. Please advise.

Re: Playstation 4 common problem with Plusnet?

It is out of the DHCP range which is why you want to use it, as it will never be allocated by the DHCP server to any device, and you (r PS4)  will have exclusive use.
As the address is still within the range of your LAN's network it will still work.

Re: Playstation 4 common problem with Plusnet?

I am confused member Anotherone posted earlier that it must be in DHCP server range.
In or Out?

Re: Playstation 4 common problem with Plusnet?

OK, I can see why you are confused. However, this question was asked before you asked the question regarding DHCP Reservation and a DMZ. As I mentioned below I am using a TP Link router that did not require any reservations or DMZ configuration to get my sons PS4s to work. They work using the static IP approach with both of them being able to play online at the same time.
So here's a thought, you can :
Follow my instructions without the Reservation or DMZ using an IP address outside of the DHCP range such as 192.168.1.222.
If this doesn't work for you then
Follow AnotherOne's instructions and set up the Address Reservation and DMZ using an address in the DHCP range ( such as 192.168.1.100) then modify the PS4's static IP to match the address you reserved.
I hope this makes more sense to you now.
