When the PlayStation was powered down, I disconnected the router’s power, counted to 30, reconnected the router, and successfully resolved the issue.

Rebuilding the database worked for me!

Restarting my router fixed it for me.

You log into your router and poke around until you find the options related to IPv4 and IPv6, in my case with my Spectrum provided router this was:

Advanced > Connectivity > IPv6 > Toggle “Enable” to OFF > Apply

Experience #6:

If you hardwire into your router you should be okay. I did and it fixed the issue without needing to reset.

I went to my router settings and turned off DHCP for IPv6, and since then, I haven’t encountered the error.
