Before you start
Have your Wi‑Fi password available. Note any error code exactly as shown.
Try these steps in order
Test after each step. If the problem is resolved, you can stop.
Check the home connection
Use another device on the same Wi‑Fi. If it also fails, troubleshoot the network first.
Check PlayStation service status
Open the official status page linked below. If a service has an incident, wait for recovery rather than resetting the console.
Review PS5 setup
Use Settings → Network → Settings → Set Up Internet Connection. Select your home network and carefully enter the password.
Review PS4 setup
Use Settings → Network → Set Up Internet Connection → Use Wi‑Fi → Easy. Select your network, then run the offered connection test.
Compare a wired connection
If practical, test a LAN cable through the console’s network setup. Avoid custom DNS or IP changes without the network owner’s help.
What your result may mean
- Home internet fails too
- Start with the Wi‑Fi guide.
- Only one game fails
- Check the game publisher’s support.
- Wired works, Wi‑Fi does not
- Investigate wireless signal and setup.
Still not working?
Send the error code and test result to PlayStation support. A successful internet test does not guarantee every online service is available.
