R7000 PS4 Speed/DMZ issues
So let me start by saying the router is pretty much in a default state, nothing extra enabled to cause any overhead or extra processing. Just today I decided to use Address Reservation for all device...
thanks for all the help, the root of the issue was the router. I tried enabling dmz again on the ip within the ip reservation, tested the ps4 and nat reports type 2 with speeds consitently above 80Mbps. Tried 10 consecutive tests immediately after one another to see if Nat fails or the D/L speeds crawl and it never did.
Are you relying on the PS4's own speed test to prove what connection speed you are achieving?
This is simply a file moving over the PSN Network which could affect the reported values.
Or are you using a speed test site through the browser?
In my experience inconsistent download speeds are due to PSN, not your equipment. Often if you pause and restart a download it 'tricks' the network to connect again at your fastest speed.
