PS4 of videos to facebook slowing the network to crawl

[LingeringRegime]

I upload my videos while my ps4 is on standby. Works well for me never tried while I was playing another game.

So why exactly can I upload files to any site, including Facebook with pretty much zero impact on my network from my PCs or iPad yet this PS4 Facebook upload literally takes down my network? I'm not saying the ps4 is defective, but something about its method of connecting and uploading to Facebook is causing issues that I don't see from any other device.

Maybe I'll try setting up a twitch account and see what happens.

So for you the ps4 upload doesn't work? Or does everything else not work? For me the upload from ps4 works fine but it kills everything else. No surfing on iPad or PC or even looking at psn items. Network is essentially DOA except ps4 to Facebook.

Twitch stream works fine. If I could just save off my vids in some way other than Facebook is be fine.

OK. So I brought this to my office to test. The PS4 appears to be uploading to Facebook without incident here. It isn't hogging up bandwidth and it isn't locking any other machines up.

Of course the PSN is down for maintenance so I cannot check everything. When I try to browse the store it says down for maintenance. Go figure.

Now how do I get Time Warner to straighten this out? At home every single feature on my home network works phenomenal except this one feature. Well, technically it works but it's as if the upload to Facebook knocks everything on the entire network offline. I'm sure TWC will blame the PS4 and Sony.

I haven't had to buy a new router for years since one has always been provided and worked without issue until now.

Thanks for any advice.

Yeah, its happening with me as well. Cuts off every other device on the network. I also have the Arris Wireless Modem/Router combo. It's junk. I'll upload a video, and then try to get on the laptop to view it, and my laptop will tell me I have no connection.

I have Time Warner coming out tomorrow to replace the router. They are requesting a Motorola Wireless Router but I doubt that will happen. Who knows? I figure if I just try a new one I at least rule out if this one is defective. Then I'll have to find out if I can provide my own. Or live with it.

Again, if Sony would just allow us to copy the files to USB I'd be completely ok with this not working as I wouldn't need it!

I will keep you posted as I get answers or no answers.

Don't have a PS4 yet, but I do have an Arris and Road Runner Wideband. I'm not impressed with this modem.I never had the amount of freeze-ups and bog downs than with this one. But TW says this is the modem they have to use for wideband. Let me know if you can get a different brand of modem. This thing is too big, ugly and too spotty in it's performance for my taste. I have a TG852, BTW....
