Question Necessary to set DNS with a PS4?

[volstead]

Hi,
I'm wondering whether it is necessary to set the DNS with a PS4 console. I have set my DNS but will it connect without it? Thank you.

Your router should have its own DNS set that it should forward to any device. If you want to use a different DNS and your router doesn't support changing it then yes you would have to set it. However if you are fine with the standard DNS provided by your router then you should not have to set it.

Short answer: Don't fix it if ain't broken.

I know, I just am experimenting with basic networking to see what happens. Thanks for the help to you both.
