Can't stream to ps4 after getting new router(Netgear R6400)

Post by JalexM »

Hello, I recently got a Netgear R6400 and a new modem and it apparently uses a dynamic server. I can't not for the life of me get my ps4 and my computer on the same IP address. I tried port forwarding but it didn't work and switching to a static IP and somehow messed up my internet which caused a few hour outage and i'm at a lose.
The ps4 is the only 2.4 connection, whenever I tried using UMS I switched to the 2.4g connection.

its wierd it's suppose to be working because i'm using my modem wich also work as a wifi router tp link 8961 and i didn't have to change anything to sync with the media server when i started to use with it connected wired to the ps4 all the settings that i made worked well. and i don't use static ip and other mambo jambo like open ports to make it accecible. maybe you should look on the internet vídeos or tutorials to how to configure your equipment to the ps4 could work. ;)

The device IP addresses on your 192.168... network should be unique.

I don't understand, when it comes to networking i'm a little illiterate.
Like I said before, everything connected fine when I used my old router/modem.

Internet videos isn't going to help as it's a specific router setting issue.

if its working before you changed the equipament and with your new one even messing up the configurations is still not working could be a indication that is not funcionting well maybe you should Exchange to another one from the same brand or try get a new one from another brand but make sure that Works fine with ps4 and with the universal media server. with my tp link i don't have problems and i've been using the media server since version 5. ;)
also make sure that the java you're using is the best fit for your Windows system and try to get the media server that fits with same java like 7 or 8.
my ip adress is set to dynamic on both ps4 and on the tp link modem, my default gateway and my primary dns are the same on the ps4 network test wich is 192.168 etc.
i don't use proxy, my mtu i got from the internet service provider that from the are that i live, connection method lan cable. some settings i 've configured manually and others i've set upt automatically. and when i set up my modem i've use the easy wizard instead of set up by more complicated methods and Works fine and fast. ;)
