Quick answer: PlayStation network status shows connection details and NAT context, while manual IP entry is a separate advanced action.
What this page covers
Use automatic settings unless the network administrator has documented a static configuration.
Step-by-step workflow
- Open the console network settings and view connection status.
- Read the current IP and gateway fields if exposed.
- Run the connection test and note NAT type separately.
- Use DHCP reservation on the router rather than guessing a console address.
Decision table
| Check | What it tells you | Safe next action |
|---|---|---|
| Exact scope | The page is limited to the named model, platform or provider | Match the current official source |
| UI or firmware | Menus and behavior can change | Check the exact version or revision |
| Unknown detail | No safe universal claim is made | Use the official support path |
Limits and verification
Console menus differ by generation and firmware. NAT type does not itself reveal the router’s admin address.
