Resetting your PS4 Network to Default Values 

  • Go  to settings
  • Go down and select Initialization
  • Select Restore Default Settings – This would restore every single setting to its default values including network. But you would not lose any saved data or games

  • Unplug all cables from the console and leave them off for 5 minutes. This clears out the Cached data
  • Plug back the cables and hold down the power button for like 10 secs
