This is a little "how to" to connect two PS4'due south to play LAN supported games without an internet connection. Possibly more with the employ of a router. Some of you may have figured this out already. I discovered this little trick while trying to LAN Party Diablo3 at a buddy's business firm, who refuses to get internet service.

The only things you need are:
A LAN (ethernet) Cable
Two PS4'south
Two copies of a LAN supported game. (I've only tested Diablo3, merely others should work)
It's important to ensure that both systems are on the same firmware version and have the aforementioned software updates for the game yous desire to play

You lot are going to connect both systems directly together with the LAN cable. I believe you could connect more systems with the use of a router.

On the outset arrangement
Navigate to Settings -> Network -> Prepare Cyberspace Connection -> Employ a LAN Cablevision -> Custom

Now you desire to setup a "manual" connection with the post-obit settings
IP Accost: 192.168.i.xxx (30 is whatsoever number between 2 and 254)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Primary DNS: 192.168.one.1
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0 (should be zeroed out by default)

Yous can go alee and test the connection once you're finished. It will fail, just that's ok. Follow the aforementioned steps with the second PS4, but be sure that the last ready of numbers in the IP Address is different from the i y'all chose for the first panel.

Now y'all should be able to start a LAN supported multiplayer game with both consoles. Y'all may demand to select this type of connexion in the game itself.

That's it. Have fun.

In the old days of figurer Lan party, you couldn't connect 2 computers without a crossover cablevision... (or you would need a switch, no non the Nintendo switch) Does it matter the type of the cable when connecting the 2 ps4?

In the old days of computer Lan political party, you couldn't connect ii computers without a crossover cablevision... (or you would need a switch, no not the Nintendo switch) Does it affair the type of the cable when connecting the ii ps4?

Idk, I didn't use a crossover. Don't know if you could. For some reason a straight through works with static ip's.

All Gigabit Ethernet interfaces have built-in auto-crossover. (Some later 100 Mbps interfaces did as well.)

On some phones you tin can create a wireless hotspot and then multiple consoles can connect to it. You can plough off data and then all they'll exist able to exercise is talk to each other.

I'd probably only dig an quondam adsl router out.

On a side note, keep the ips betwixt 2 and 254, as 255 is used for broadcast (send stuff to all the 2-254 ip ranges at the same fourth dimension)

What he mean't was betwixt 2 pcs using crossover (as in one cable).

Does information technology matter the type of the cable when connecting the two ps4?

No, just don't use an electic cable lmao, some RG45 cable should exercise the play a trick on, even telephone cable would be usable in this situation only just make sure the heads are RJ45 (huge ones with 8 pins) and not RJ11 or RJ9 (telephone tiny ones), if non, but buy cable and similar ten or 20 RJ45 heads and start making your own cables.

Oh yeah, the primary DNS function can exist left 0.0.0.0, information technology doesn't matter as it only thing when connecting to a domain and not an ip address.

The crossover is now taken care of by the network device. Its part of the stack.

A standard cat5/6 cablevision will work just fine at present.
