The last of us remastered, infamous is good but short. Far cry 4 is coming out the 18th, as well as the GTA 5 remake. Lots of good stuff on the wayPS4 is on my Christmas list....game recommendations?
I put Mordor on my list as I've heard good things. Don't do a ton of "group" play on-line...more of a solo player.

I keep getting this message "cannot connect to the server within the limit"... My router is in my living room and my PS4 is in my bedroom. Could this be the issue? I rarely can ever get my PS4 to connect to the PSN network. I'll set the connection up and it says the Internet is fine but just can't connect to the network? I've restored my ps4 back to factory settings but that didn't help any. It's so annoying that I can never play online.
How long are PS4's under warranty? Is that something that would be covered?
He's suggesting it's a router configuration problem, not a problem with your PS4.
I would suggest logging in to your router and putting your PS4 on a DMZ IP. That should solve things. Whether or not you leave it on a DMZ IP is up to you.
Sounds more complicated than it is.
You need to know what IP your PS4 is using.
Then, on most routers, you log into the router. Then, they usually have a DMZ setting in the main menu or advanced or ports. You'll plug your PS4 IP in there.
DMZ means it doesn't really monitor the traffic to that IP. So, if it was a ports or permissions issue, this would be skipping that. The reason you don't put everything on a DMZ IP is because of viruses and intrusion possibilities. But, something like the PS4 is a closed system and not really a target for internet shady-ness.
Probably google something like "setting up DMZ with [your router model here]"
Should take just a couple minutes to find it and set it up.
