    Try this

    1. Make sure your PlayStation is completely turned off
    2. Unplug the power cables from both the console and your modem/router
    3. After 3 minutes, plug the cables in again and turn the devices back on
    4. Wait for all lights on the Modem/router to normalize

    Next:

    1. On the Playstation home screen, go to Settings > Network > Set Up Internet Connection.
    2. Select Wifi/LAN depending on what you use to connect.
    3. Select Custom  
      • If you are using a wireless connection, you will need to select the Network and enter its password.
    4. Ensure the settings are set as follows:  
      • IP Address Settings (automatic)
      • DHCP Host Name (Do Not Use)
      • DNS Settings (Manual)
    5. Enter the DNS as shown below:  
      • Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
      • Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4
    6. Select Next.
    7. Ensure the options are set as follows:  
      • MTU Settings (Automatic)
      • Proxy Server (Do Not Use)
    8. Select Test Internet Connection.
    9. Run Dead by Daylight again
