Can the PS5 Ethernet Port Support IP Passthrough? Need Help Setting It Up!

18 Replies, 561 Views

Hey everyone,
So, I’ve been trying to figure out if the ps5 ethernet port ip passthrough is even a thing? Like, can the PS5 actually handle IP passthrough directly through its ethernet port? I’ve been digging around online, but the info is kinda all over the place.

I’m trying to set it up so my PS5 gets a direct IP from my modem/router, bypassing any NAT stuff. I’ve got a router that supports IP passthrough, but I’m not sure if the PS5’s ethernet port can actually handle it.

Has anyone here successfully set up ps5 ethernet port ip passthrough? Or is it even possible? I’d really appreciate any tips or steps to get this working.

Thanks in advance!
(Also, sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m still kinda new to networking stuff lol.)
Hey! So, I’ve been messing around with the ps5 ethernet port ip passthrough thing too. From what I’ve gathered, the PS5 itself doesn’t natively support IP passthrough. It’s more about your router settings. If your router supports IP passthrough or bridge mode, you can assign the PS5 a direct IP from the modem.

I’d recommend checking your router’s manual or settings page for IP passthrough options. Some routers like the Netgear Nighthawk or Asus models have this feature. Once enabled, your PS5 should get a direct IP. Hope this helps!
Yo, I don’t think the ps5 ethernet port ip passthrough is a thing directly on the console. It’s more about your router setup. If your router has a bridge mode or IP passthrough feature, you can configure it to give the PS5 a direct IP.

I’d suggest looking into your router’s admin panel. If you’re unsure, maybe check out forums like DSLReports or Reddit’s r/HomeNetworking for more specific guides. Good luck!
Hey there! I’ve been down this rabbit hole before. The ps5 ethernet port ip passthrough isn’t something the PS5 handles on its own. It’s all about your router’s configuration. If your router supports IP passthrough or bridge mode, you can set it up to assign a direct IP to your PS5.

I’d recommend checking out your router’s settings or even reaching out to their support team if you’re stuck. Also, tools like Wireshark can help you verify if the PS5 is getting the direct IP. Hope this clears things up!
So, I’ve tried setting up ps5 ethernet port ip passthrough before, and honestly, it’s not straightforward. The PS5 doesn’t have built-in support for IP passthrough. It’s more about your router’s capabilities. If your router supports bridge mode or IP passthrough, you can configure it to give the PS5 a direct IP.

I’d suggest checking out your router’s manual or even YouTube tutorials for step-by-step guides. Some routers like the TP-Link Archer series have pretty straightforward settings for this. Good luck!

Thanks, everyone, for the replies! So, it sounds like the ps5 ethernet port ip passthrough isn’t something the PS5 handles directly, and it’s more about the router settings. I’ll check my router’s admin panel and see if it supports IP passthrough or bridge mode.

I’ve got a Netgear router, so I’ll look into their specific settings. If anyone has a Netgear and has done this before, let me know if there are any quirks I should watch out for. Also, thanks for the tool suggestions like Wireshark and Fing—I’ll definitely check those out to verify the setup. Appreciate all the help!
