I have recently bridged the connections of my laptop and my PS4 because the connection in my dorm is abismal. My PS4 can hardly use the WiFi while my laptop can use it just fine. So I thought I'd bridge them. Although when I bridge them, my PS4 seems to have trouble signing into the PSN. It'll say I'm online but I can't do things like look at my friends list or host games. I can hardly do anything online related. When I run a connection test is says everything was successful with NAT 2 because I'm on a military base, Download is about 10mb and upload is about 6mb or 7mb. I've tried disabling the firewall on my laptop but it was not met with success. I've also tried DNS servers. The laptop has a Killer E2500 Ethernet adapter. If anyone would know the solution to this it'd be very helpful bc I've been at this since 2 days ago.

Well first of all I'd like to thank you for your service if you are enlisted. I'm right now enjoying this months' PS+ freebie Trackmania Turbo. Anyway, try selecting both WAN and LAN network adapters in the network connection option and set wired as Ad-Hoc. I assume you are wired between the two and not WiFi.

Also, do you have the PSN phone app? What does it do over WiFi?

Psn phone app works fine. Also I'm curious, how I'd go about doing all the steps you listed?

Also here's how my bridge is set up, PS4 connected via Ethernet to my laptop, and my laptop is connected to the WiFi so it's like:

PS4 (ethernet) > Laptop> WiFi

The PS4 can't use the WiFi on base well, while my PC uses it just fine. I'm curious how to take the steps. Also I'm not too familiar with networking so how would one go about setting wired as ad-hoc?

I have no access to this routers ports and whatnot as well. It's like a subscription based wireless on base and you can't acess anything through the default gateway.

Also thank you I appreciate it!
