Is they're a way to share the fast connection from your PC to you're PS4? If so how could I go about doing that? Because this method works great on all my PC's and phones that I was able to change the TTL but how can I get the same results on the PS4? Please and thank you
Does PS4 still have an ethernet port? What you'd have to do is connect the phone to the computer and then use internet connection sharing on your PC to share to the ethernet port and connect that via Ethernet cable to PS4. There's videos on that. You open your network connection settings and then there's a sharing tab.... search Google for it. I can't explain it all on here.

Thank you for the help, My other question is tho will wireless work or only lan? because right now I setup a mobile hotspot on my windows 10 pc and it I can connect but the speeds are still slow....... but my pc is still fast.

Okay.......I tested the lan option and still the same results.... I only get 100 kbs instead of the speeds I exceed on my pc......

If your using your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot for your laptop/pc you can't also use the hotspot internet sharing feature. Unless you have two wifi modems.

Disable the QoS packet scheduler on all the network devices you're using... the one where your internet's coming from and the one that you're using to share internet on.

Still having issues here I got my ethernet cord going right to my computer too my ps4 that's working as far as connection goes. Now I disabled the QoS Packet Scheduler on both network devices I still continue too only get 100kbs per second on my pc I get at least 3 MB per second sometimes higher depending on how many people are are using the cell towers. How do I go from having 3 MB or higher on my PC too having 100 kbs on my ps4....I can't even stream with that kinda amount of data I have google dns setup on the ps4. So I should be having at least 1MB or a little more.

I know you can't change the TTL on a Console but I feel like there has too be a way around it using a pc and some sorta data redirecting software maybe?

Anything is possible, more will be happen if your phone has root though. If your on the zmax pro like most of us, best currently is sharing it through PC via ethernet. I use wifi to my pc but I dont have a ps4 or console to try and give you my speed details. page 2 or 3, someone has done a linksys router of sorts that ttl is change-able, then router to spread our wifi and/or ethernet. supposedly it had worked but you'd need more equipment.

Okay this is going to sound insane but I modded the apn, I'm using foxfi with proxy server on I'm now using the ttl registry tweak as well. I'm currently testing this old linksys router I had in storage for some time its a linksys WAP54G ver 3.1. Very old for some reason I can't get the netgear router to work right. but the traffic I have is being redirected to a tablet and seems to be working I'm going to try the ps4 here soon and post results. for anyone who is interested or needs help could read up on this.

No success inless someone can tell me or show me how to set it up with a router because It still slow.....it went from 100 too 124 kb but nothing like I'm getting on my tablets and computers.....could someone tell me how to make it work with maybe a netgear? It has more options then my linksys.

Still can't get the ps4 to work properly I know as the the thread poster had said before that it detects the PSN network.......I try to do a free VPN but I can't find a reliable one and people keep saying that free one's are just not going to work regardless of what I do they say I have to pay for VPN service.......but I think there are other ways I just don't know how too....... I just wanna be able to stream movies and watch youtube maybe update a game or two.

I can say you've gone into this further then I have. When we get root, then we may be able to add more to WIFI without modifying the TTL. I unfortunately can't even get my kindle fire on my foxfi as i cant change the ttl in it or rather i haven't found an answer without rooting. Messi got the phone a couple days ago, maybe 3-4 days ago. He's working on our root for zmax

I think it's Google DNS settings. When I had Boost and did USB tether with PDAnet I had trouble using different DNS settings and getting PS3 online.

I'm sorry I can't help any further. I don't have a PS4 and I don't have a Ethernet cable. CAT6 is faster then CAT5 but it shouldn't matter since we are only using 4G LTE.

If your already over your 8GB tether limit I suspect your speeds would be 2G/3G? I'm halfway there... lol.

Just a friendly reminder to all of you that the TTL trick does not work on Windows 10 unless you use USB tethering with FoxFi, which the Zmax Pro does not support.
To get around this I just have a Windows 7 laptop with the TTL mod tethered to my phone and it is hosting it's own wifi network which runs at the same speed as directly tethering to my phone.

Using that method would allow you to use Xbox Live and Playstation Network. If you guys want, I can upload a video to YouTube showing how it works. It's pretty easy if you have a spare router laying around.
