Your router will take care of always assigning your PS4 the same internal IP address which will function the same as a static IP. If you find this feature in your router, simply assign a permanent IP address to your PlayStation 4 (in your router) and no changes are required in your PS4 console. This process will differ depending on the specific router that you have. In your router, look for a way to manually assign an IP address. How to Manually Assign a Static IP Address to Your PS4 in Your Router If your router does not allow manual assignments, you can set up a static IP address in your PlayStation 4 console. Some routers allow you to manually assign an IP address, so you should check to see if that is an option in your router. Assigning a permanent IP address to your PlayStation 4 ensures that your console always has the same internal IP address even after it is rebooted. You may need to assign a permanent IP address to your PlayStation 4 in order to get a NAT Type 2 connection.
