Go into your Network settings, and change your MTU setting to 1473, leave everything else however you had it. This change has worked for 10 of my friends, really random but try it!

I'm in HK, friends are in Aus.

Hope this works for you guys.

 

[chadskin]

Thank you, worked for me, too!

 

[Led_Zeppelin]

It Worked! I can't access PSN store since it says that it is under maintenance but at least I am logged in to PSN.

 

[Wolves Evolve]

Working here in Australia.

 

[ShdwDrake]

Working in Colorado. Thank you sir!

 

[geordiemp]

I have my PS4 MTU at 1492 at static IP always anyway.

You should do the MTU ping test and add 28 for the header and set that as your Ps4 MTU.

 

[Dackelbein]

Worked like a charm, thanks alot ! (Germany)

 

[Robot Pants]

How long until the elite group of losers known as Lizard Squad take it down?

 

[Peace Tea]

Thanks a bunch op. Worked on the first try. Manual 1st time login with this new Ps4 had not been working.

 

[SprayNuff]

Thanks,it worked for me.I'm back online in the UK.

 

[Poona]

Ahh.. I don't even know what this means. Hopefully Sony figures it out on their own rather than me having to fiddle with settings like this, and just gets it back working normally.

 

[Dunkley]

Ah, now I understand what the guy meant in the other thread. Does this work on PS3 too?

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Hmm,

It allows you to 'sign in' but not be able to access the PSN server. For example, I cannot set my PS4 to Primary Device nor restore licences.

Is there a workaround?

 

[Asbear]

I can't get it to work. I tried MTU 1473 and 1492

 

[NHale]

Ah, now I understand what the guy meant in the other thread. Does this work on PS3 too?

At least it worked for me. It said "SEN is under maintenance" before I changed the MTU, then I was able to log in in less than 3 seconds.

 

[Savitar]

It works.

But PSN is still undergoing maintenance.

Okay got PSN to work but getting errors for redeeming codes etc.

 

[Agent Gibbs]

Doesn't work for me

Edit: Restarted and 1473 worked

 

[NHale]

I was able to sync trophies with PSN server so it's definitely working here in Europe.

EDIT: PSN Store works too.

 

[cilonen]

Yeah, this got me in to Destiny.

My internet connection test failed at the PSN sign in after doing this, but I went through it again, failed again, then just quit out of network settings and signed in under Settings > PSN > Sign in, and in like a charm first try.

 

[NeoRausch]

WHOA! MAGIC!

Thanks OP!

 

[Straid]

Thanks! Finally i bought that useless rifle from Xur!

 

[Americanmushroom]

Wtf magic shit right here

 

[Wil348]

Oooooh thankyouthankyouthankyou! Worked for me in EU.

 

[CREMSteve]

How the hell did you figure this out? It totally worked! Three days without being able to sign in and this was all it took, lol!

 

[RedAssedApe]

huh...random. what i don't understand is why people have been able to login without doing this if this is in fact a thing. is it game specific? are you all playing destiny or something?

 

[TNH853]

nice. worked for me here in germany. thx

 

[thenexus6]

THANK YOU!!

 

[Staf]

Shame, does not work for me.

 

[Noisepurge]

seemed to fix the issues here too, thanks!

 

[Kuldar]

Worked for me (France), thanks!

 

[CaptainTiptop]

I can login and see the store for about two seconds before a maintenance message pops up. I guess it's better than nothing.

 

[MRORANGE]

Good work OP, you managed to fix psn while Sony have been spending two days like headless chickens on the matter.

 

[Fezzan]

It Worked! I can't access PSN store since it says that it is under maintenance but at least I am logged in to PSN.

It says that to me as well but I find if I try a few more times it loads up fine.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Good work OP, you managed to fix psn while Sony have been spending two days like headless chickens on the matter.

I could log in without that exploit.

 

[Daggoth]

Replaced the coded error message with "under maintenance". That's a start!

 

[Steiner84]

praise the OP, it works

 

[RedAssedApe]

I could log in without that exploit.

same here. im going to chalk this up to coincidence. maybe psn is just back up for more people.

 

[Floody]

It worked for me too. Thanks.

I tried just before doing this and it didn't work, so not a coincidence for me.

 

[Staf]

Hmm, weird it seems to work for everyone but me. I just get the "Cannot connect to the server within the time limit". Which i got prior to this "fix" as well as after.

Go to your PC or laptop and determine your optimum size (MTU) that can be sent in 1 lump and not 2 will optimise your bandwidth and login potential.

Its your router that does this.

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/94721-mtu-limit-test-change-your-connections-mtu-limit.html

Go to cmd.exe

enter / type ping google.com -f -l 1472

Change by 1 up / down and find maximum number / size YOUR router can ping.

For me it was 1474. Then for MTU it has a 28 bit header, so your MTU = this number + 28.

Hence for my router BT hub 5 UK = 1474 (test) + 28 gives optimum MTU = 1492.

If you put in the lower number it will also work on Ps4, but your bandwidth on Ps4 will be down a small amount

 

[Liferebooted]

Worked for me but I had to turn the system completely off, not in rest mode after changing the MTU. Only then could I log into psn.

 

[RedAssedApe]

sony must be doing something again because what's new feed is down.

 

[benny_a]

I've now been trying various settings for 20 Minute.

It seems to me that below 1480 I have the most success to sign in. I jumped around the various MTU configurations without exceeding my actual optimum MTU (1492).

I also had times when 1470 didn't log in but 1476 did and such, so the service is still not working well.
For example: Store loaded sometimes, other times not.

Based on my testing I would say reducing the MTU below the Automatically determined one helps (on average in my one household) but in the end the services are still mostly fucked.

 

[Habaneroguy]

Thanks OP! Allowed me to activate as primary ps4 and can play now! Southeast US here

This is what people should be doing.

 

[Atolm]

Works and I can log in, but I still get an error trying to play FFXIV.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

my MTU seems fine, i did all the test and everything works but i still cant join PSN, oh well, i guess is waiting game again

 

[HuismarB]

Got it working after some reboots. (Holland)
Thanks!

Waiting Game sucks, play Hungry Hungry Hippos!

 

[Kukawaki]

Worked after full reset. Thanks!
