Solution 1: Restart Your Console

Some internal glitches and bugs can be solved by a simple restart. Therefore, when you receive the PS4 error CE-32895-7, try restarting your console at first. If it doesn’t help, keep trying the next solution.

Solution 2: Reset Your Router

As mentioned, the inconsistency of TCP/IP is one of the potential factors that cause CE 32895 7. To solve the problem, you can try resetting your router.

Before that, you should be aware that resetting a router will delete any custom settings, including forwarded ports, blocked devices, etc.

Now, let’s see how to reset a router.

Step 1: Check your router and look for the RESET button. It is usually located on the back of the router.

Step 2: Press and hold the RESET button for several seconds, and you can release the button when you see all the LED lights flashing at the same time.

Tip: The RESET button is usually built inside the router in case that someone presses the button accidentally. Therefore, you need to use a sharp object such as a pen to press the button.

The router is restored to the default factory settings. To prevent others from using your wireless network, you need to set a password by following the next steps.

Step 3: At the bottom of your router, there is a sticker with a UserName, password, and IP address. Note them down.

Step 4: Open a web browser. Then type the IP address in the address bar and press Enter. You will access the router configuration page. Here you can set the name and password of your wireless network.

After resetting the router, you can check if the PlayStation error code CE 32895 7 disappears.

Solution 3: Try Connecting to Another Network

A restricted network can be another reason why you encounter PS4 error CE 32895 7. It commonly happened when users tried to connect to a hotel, school, and work network. Those networks might prevent your PlayStation console from connecting to them.

In this case, you should try connecting to another network if it is possible. If the error code appears again, move on to the next solution.

Step 2: Turn off the PS4 console completely. Then press and hold the power button. After you hear the second beep (about 7 seconds), release the power button. Then press the PS button on the controller to boot PS4 in Safe Mode.

Step 3: There are seven options in Safe Mode, and you need to select the third option Update System Software:

  1. Restart PS4
  2. Change Resolution
  3. Update System Software
  4. Restore Default Settings
  5. Rebuild Database
  6. Initialize PS4
  7. Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)

Step 4: On the next screen, select Update using the Internet. Then you just need to wait until the process is finished.

Alternatively, you can try updating system software for PS4 via an external storage device such as a USB drive. For more, details, go to Method 2.

You can also update PS4 system software manually via a USB drive. Please keep in mind that there are three things you need to do:

  2. Download the system software update file from the official website of PlayStation on a PC.
  3. Install the update.

Now, you can follow the steps below to update the system software for your PS4 console.
