How to make my PS4 download faster
Put your PS4 in rest mode while downloading. It often speeds up the process because the system isn’t juggling other tasks.

Try connecting your PS4 directly to your router with an Ethernet cable instead of using Wi-Fi. Wired connections are typically faster and more stable for downloads.
Changing the DNS settings on your PS4 can sometimes improve download speeds. Go to Settings > Network > Set Up Internet Connection, and use Google's DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).
Honestly, sometimes all you need to do is reboot your router. Internet speed fixes itself more often than you’d think.
Pause and resume the download to give it a little 'kick'. It oddly helps sometimes!
