    Ok so I got my shed made into a man cave, the electrician ran a lan cable from my house to the shed so I can use my ps4 or ps5 online, it’s actually just too watch football on the sky app so preferably I’d rather use the PS4 and keep ps5 for the house. 2 weeks ago I was with Eir but have since changed to sky it was working fine with eir but not with sky, I don’t think it’s anything got to do with sky’s end, probably just something simple. I really need help to sort it.

    Is the lan cable for the shed plugged into the new router?!

    Have you tried a laptop or some other device with it to make sure it's still working ok?

    Sounds like the ps is storing old IP address details which are causing connection issues as your router has changed issuing different ip addresses.
    Clear network settings or make sure they are turned to automatic.

    What might help is switching to WiFi hotspot to phone then switch back to lan and go through the setup wizard again. That should work.

    So I tried this and still no joy, I press automatic when it comes up for IP address so I presume it’s putting the new one in

    No that didn’t work either , I’m really getting frustrated, so I brought the PS4 into the house and tried a small lan cable and it worked just beside the modem, went back out to the shed and long lan cable not working

    Are all the devices in the house being assigned addresses dynamically? Try giving it a static address. Strange that a cable would give up the ghost like that, they can still operate in some form with a bit of physical damage.

    When you said you tried the TV, did you mean you tried it with the same LAN cable as the one that goes into the PS4? If it works with the LAN cable then it definitely points to the PS4. Did you try forgetting/deleting the network from the PS4 and then setting it up again? The fact it works with a short LAN cable would point towards the long one being the culprit, but if the TV works with the long one, then I'm at a loss!
