Okay so the house I'm currently in has some weak fuses, I blame Europe, and since I've been here there have been some power outages because too many things have been on. Not incredibly common, but maybe once a week for a few minutes just because someone didn't realize there were too many things running at one. I ended up buying a Universal Power Server for the Router so that the internet wouldn't go off if the power dipped for a second, but didn't get one for my main entertainment/console area.

This has been mostly fine, other than the time the power went out while the PS4 was on and then again while it was "Checking System Storage" after a power outage and I had to reinstall the entire system from scratch using a USB, but whatever, that ended up working out.

So last night, I had it in rest mode, the power went off as it does, and all was fine. I turned my PS4 back on later to play it, it did the normal stuff and it was all good, except it refused to connect to the internet. I already have it connected VIA an ethernet cable so that's not the issue, and the internet itself never went down thanks to my UPS.

I have legitimately troubleshooted every possible solution on the internet. Tried connecting through WI-FI, reset the router, reset the PS4, rebuilt databases, switched to a different DNS, did an MTU change which apparently means something, and I even left it overnight to see if it would fix itself, and nothing. I even tried using my phone as a hotspot to see if it was just the house's internet, and nope, PS4 refused to connect to that as well, so it has to be a console issue.

I'm getting error code nw-31194-8 if that means anything. The PS4 recognizes the internet and gets the IP address, but it fails to get past that stage. Not sure what else to do at this point. Am I in "buy a new PS4 less than 12 months before the PS5" mode, or does anyone have any knowledge of this?
