I can hardwire it at one house but not the other, due to just how far the router is and the fact that the owner of the house is not willing to drill through the floor to get the ethernet cable down and unwilling to move the router either. kinda stuck with wifi there.

PS4 wifi can only operate on 802.1 g protocol.
Can you adjust the router to not operate 802.1 a/b/g or g/n modes? If so, you will see a signal performance improvement (mostly reliability not speed) because the router will not be attempting to switch between the speeds as different devices use the WiFi.
Does the router support dual-band or tri-band transmission? If so, setup an SSID for g only, and another n only ensure the n band is transmitting on 5 GHz and g is on 2.4 GHz to prevent collision.
Additionally, most routers come setup to transmit on channel 6, if there are many other routers in range (e.g. neighbours), you should consider switching to channel 11 to reduce the interference.
That is pretty good advice and I'll have to try that. I actually don't have much problems right now with it as it's the only device on that band, everyone else in the house uses the other band for 5G which my ps4 can't hit.PS4 wifi can only operate on 802.1 g protocol.
