Hello there!
I've been googling for answers regarding static IP and it led me here where there are more experts here, since I don't seem to open a new topic I'll post my inquiry here.
I'm a gamer on PS4 and I've been suggested to acquire a Static IP from my ISP because of my certain gaming services instabilities. Although I'm already assigning a local static IP to my PS4, but is there a difference between the Static IP I'll have to buy from my ISP and the local static IP I'm already assigning to my PS4 ?
And if I acquired that static IP from my ISP do I have to assign it somehow to my PS4 device similar to assigning a local static IP thingy?
I only use this specific internet service for gaming, which means there's no interruption from other devices into the network (cellphones, laptops etc..)
So how does this static (global or external?) IP works? And what am I supposed to do with it regarding improving my gaming experience (apart from port forwarding which I've learned from google).
Thanks in advance!
