PS4 Refusing to connect to Orbi WiFi
Hi Folks
For some reason my PS4 is refusing to connect to my Orbi WiFi network. It has previously worked fine (though I haven’t used it in a while). When I go through the network configuration ...
It's not you! It's the newer FW. My PS4 dropped every 2-5 minutes. Had to go back to ethernet.
Don't waste your time breaking yout PS4.
Instead. Roll back your Orbi FW and the problem will likely resolve itself.
I saw this issue reported frequently from PS4 users. The following solutions were always suggested:
Solution #1:
On your PS4, go to [Settings] > [Networks] > [Set Up Internet Connection] > (Use WiFi) > (Easy). When asked which Wi-Fi network you want to use, scroll down to the bottom and select [Set Up Manually]. Select (Enter Manually) and enter your Orbi's SSID, followed by your network's password.
Solution #2:
Restart your PS4 in Safe Mode and select option 4 [Restore Default Settings]. When your system restarts try connecting to your Wi-Fi access point again.
Good luck :)
