Linksys 1900ACS V2
DDWRT v3.0-r36330 std

This morning my son said his PS4 was updating slowly. Discovered it was connected to the 2.4 network. Spent a lot of time trying to get it to connect to the 5ghz network. In the end my phones and laptops and other computers wouldnt connect. After a few hours back and forth with it I finally just reset it and - it worked. I connected our phones and computer to the 5ghz network and went on. A few hours later my wife said the printer wont connect - its on 2.4. I use a scanner on my phone and neither wireless network can be found. I did another reset. Still cant see either of them. On the router itself there is no light on for either network either. Im not sure how trying to connect a device to the network has caused this but Im unable to get either to work.

Suggestions?

As I was reading through the forums reading posts something made me look at for a few weeks Ive been running the wrong firmware. I have ACS V2 and I was not running that fw. Not sure if that was a problem or why it would show itself now but, I downloaded the correct firmware and still had the same problem. I reset from the Admin menu and it worked. I put back in all my settings and it all stopped working again. Only made a few changes like to the ip address and its range, mac address filtering .. but one of those is causing problem. So I reset again and this time left most things default. Just changed the admin info, changed the number of allowed connections - that is it. Didnt even change the default ddwrt name for the ssid. Its all working so.. Ill just leave it as it is.

The Playstation 4 doesn't have 5GHz. If you need your ISP's full speed you will have to connect via LAN cable (ethernet).

PS4 Slim has 5GHZ.
It connected.
In my neighborhood we all have 200mb down
and the wireless is now working great.

Thanks.

Why Sony didn't include 5GHz in the first PS4 I'll never understand.
I'm glad you got it working!

That and, it doesnt help reading forums where everyone has a PS4 with no differentiation between PS4, Slim, Pro, etc. I agree, if you want people to purchase games that have to be downloaded then put 5ghz on all machines. In my business I evaluate lots of new construction between homes and multi-home units. Fiber, cable, dsl etc, broadband to the location is available but once inside the one, less than 1% have any further network wiring. Its all expected to be wireless. Put the fastest wireless on these units and make other things the upgrade features.

Hopefully the next generation of gaming systems will have 802.11ax.
