Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed this video of me reviewing this Travel Router for the Playstation Portal and your mobile hotspot. Hopefully this device solves most of the problems many PS Portal owners are having. This is my new favorite Portal Accessory! If you have any questions let me know in the comments below 🫡 Thanks for watching!
Bro, I have T-mobile and been having issues for months concerning this. I brought this device and now it works. Thank you bro and I appreciate all the time and effort you put in trying to help people concerning this. Keep up the good work💪🏽❗️
As someone who travels frequently for work, a travel router is a must have in general. I personally prefer to have my vpn set up on it then have devices connect through the router instead of straight to hotel or Airbnb WiFi.
I heard about the VPN feature! Seems really cool and I’ll most likely be using it once I travel more! Thanks for sharing how you use the router Trey! Enjoy your day!
Hey guys this is wrong you CAN hotspot your phone directly to the PSP through the new update i brought one today update the console, and connected it to my phone hotspot and it works
Hey John. You did NOT cook with this one. There's thousands of portal users who can't connect to their hotspot due to carrier restrictions. If you got yours to connect that's great but that's not the case for everyone including myself.
@@TechMarkGaming guess it’s just a UK thing then our carries out here don’t rely do that; I’ve got unlimited everything on my SIM, that wouldn’t then be PlayStations fault but rather the carriers
All this hassle just to hotspot, why can't playstation just allow us to hotspot easily? Portal is really great inside a home but i'm waiting for the day I can use it outside just as easily, Keep up the good work tho brother!
Agreed! I hope they enable us to do so in the future without the hassle but in return they are just making us smarter along the way! Thanks for the comment 🫡🔥
U can with the new update u scan the qr code from the device on ur phone and it allows u to accept the terms from ur phone to connect to public wifi u dont need this router
I was thinking you were going to say because the more expensive option uses WiFi 6 and the portal wouldn’t recognize it. Oh and thanks for the video, I am not tech savvy and was truly upset at Sony for this POS portal I paid $300+ for now I have hope it may work
Can you do a video for android phones ? I've watched this video and you skip around thru the process. So when I set up the router I kept getting a msg stating the router wasn't connected to the internet when I tried to tether my phone .
I don't have a android phone Sadly. Maybe the step where I said turn off "Maximize Compatibility" is where the router is getting tripped up on your android phone. Try disabling that by going to settings -> network and internet -> hotspot & tethering -> wifi Hotspot -> toggle off extended compatibility. Keep me updated, hope this helps
@@TechMarkGamingyeah I connected the router to my ps portal…good speed. But still doesn’t connect. I have a strong WiFi at home, and still doesn’t connect.
Yes it's using my mobile data in this video. The router can do much more like connect to hotels ethernet port, host it's own VPN & more...but this is what I like to use it for! Thanks for asking Darth🫡🔥🎮
@@TechMarkGaming I have "unlimited" data but once I get the message I've used 50gb data my phone hotspot no longer works for the portal. If this router was connected to my hotspot on my cell it will still connect to the portal?
@DarthRambo ohh okay I see, so the unlimited data is supplied to your phone's usage (browsing the web, streaming TV shows from apps ect) ON DEVICE ONLY. Now for your Hotspot, the data supplied to your phone is "limited" to 50GB. So once you go over the 50GB cap then your carrier throttles your speeds which in turn will still allow you to connect to your phone's Hotspot internet but it'll be EXTRA slow. If this happens you can call your carrier and ask if you can have 10gb's of extra Hotspot data or whatever you want. They will supply you with that data (you will be charge accordingly on your current monthly bill). Hope this helps!
Really? I haven’t had any issues since I purchased the router. Restart your ps5, router, portal, and phone. Also make sure maximum compatibility is turned off
@@TechMarkGaming yes done all that and just can’t get it to work. It occasionally turns the ps5 on but won’t actually connect to the console. Sending the router back. Literally ready to sell the portal as I bought it for holidays or at work to use but can’t and had it 4-5 months now
Or make a portable system that can be played online or offiline with enough HD space to load your games with integrated controller and the ability to play on a big screen with friends. Like a nintendo switch of sorts... my bad 🤣 allegedly of course.
If you have access to it's router/ ethernet port. It's mostly used for mobile hotspots, broadcasting wifi signals from hotels/motels ect.. But I'm sure there's more features you can use if you have a android device! Hope this helps
Cheap practice :you buy a 200£ device and than another 200£ to have wi fi and than you pray this works even do you got no games on this device ,really ?😢
The router cost less than a brand new PS4 game. For this use case, I think it's absolutely worth it so you don't have to worry about carrier restrictions.
To you but there’s tons of portal users who want to use there phones personal hotspot data to play their PS5 games on the go! Maybe for kids as well. Thanks for your perspective 🫡🔥🎮

Happy to help! this router is a game changer for me for sure! Preciate your comment Harris 🫡🔥🎮
I e sen people just hotspot with T-Mobile when the first came out is that not the case anymore ??
Did you use your T mobile phone as the hotspot

Idk about you but with the recent update for the sign in WiFi I been using the Xfinity pass and been gaming great on the go no hassle
It all depends on who your cell phone carrier is. And the wifi around u
U can with the new update u scan the qr code from the device on ur phone and it allows u to accept the terms from ur phone to connect to public wifi u dont need this router
@@lenknox23can you explain a bit more? What QR code and from what device
I'm glad u did this video. I use a tp-link. For hotels because I use my firestick.
Preciate you Gregory! That's what I plan on using this router for when I start traveling this holiday season! 🫡🔥🎮 enjoy your weekend!
I have the PSPlay app on my steamdeck and tmobile internet. I cant connect when im outside of my home network. Will this fix that issue?
Yes! This device helps a lot of handheld gamers🫡🔥🎮
I just use my phone. Been playing GT7, RDR2 & G.O.T.
Either way works🫡 & GT7 is the goated race simulator 🔥
U can use a wifi repeater as well
Can i use this in the car or outside or is it just for home.
Hey great question, I’ve seen portal users on Reddit do it! So I’d say yes!
Ok thanks
Is there a reason u didn’t use the GL-MT3000?
Nope this one was the most affordable for my use case. I'm sure the more expensive routers has faster speeds!
I was thinking you were going to say because the more expensive option uses WiFi 6 and the portal wouldn’t recognize it. Oh and thanks for the video, I am not tech savvy and was truly upset at Sony for this POS portal I paid $300+ for now I have hope it may work

Just got my ps portal. But it won’t connect to my ps5 away from home. I’m using my iPhone AT&T hotspot. Would this setup work?
It definitely would!
@@TechMarkGamingyeah I connected the router to my ps portal…good speed. But still doesn’t connect. I have a strong WiFi at home, and still doesn’t connect.
I NEED HELP. I can connect to my travel router wifi, but it wont let me connect to my PS5. I know the wifi works because of my laptop. Please help.
Hey Zeke, have you tried restarting your phone, ps5, and router & portal?
@TechMarkGaming Yes I reset everything. Turned on Airplane mode and reset. I believe it's my NAT type but I'm not sure
How does this perform vs if I just connect to my phone's hotspot directly with the portal?
The travel router gives my hotspot a stronger signal bc of the antennas!
the issue is the iphone will not connect directly to it!
@@asasenmakro my iPhone connects directly to the portal no problem?
@@TechMarkGaminghow far is your phone for the portal? Why would signal be an issue?
Is this good for playing portal at home because I run into the most lag at home. Everywhere else I’m good for the most part.
You should check your ISP router and make sure it’s the updated hardware. Then make sure you’re getting the right speeds. After, set up your ports.
Thats good to hear man! thanks for your comment
Drop link where I can buy it
Yessir glad you asked! I have a link in the description of this video 🫡🔥🎮
Is this using your phone data? Confused what the mobile router is connected to in order to get wifi?
Yes it's using my mobile data in this video. The router can do much more like connect to hotels ethernet port, host it's own VPN & more...but this is what I like to use it for! Thanks for asking Darth🫡🔥🎮

I have a 1 GB of internet at home connected through ethernet and on my iphone 15 pro max i have verizon 5GUC getting around 300-400 i have 0 problems
Man I thought this was portalable internet u still need hotspot
Yup that's the case. Unless you get a personal portal hotspot from your carrier!
Done all of this but still can’t connect my portal to the ps5? It connects to the router but just doesn’t connect to the ps5 😢
Really? I haven’t had any issues since I purchased the router. Restart your ps5, router, portal, and phone. Also make sure maximum compatibility is turned off

Does it work on public wifi??

How do I get this router
Check out the description! I have everything listed ⬇️🫡🔥🎮
Cheap practice :you buy a 200£ device and than another 200£ to have wi fi and than you pray this works even do you got no games on this device ,really ?😢

My 😂 portal connects to the hot-spot no issues
Must be nice! Hopefully theyll fix this issue with a update 😁 thanks for the comment Binay
All sony had to do was just put a normal web browsers they could have just implemented a android web browser for free smh
They didn't want to do the browser. So no one will hack it.
Most pointless video I've ever seen 😂
To you but there’s tons of portal users who want to use there phones personal hotspot data to play their PS5 games on the go! Maybe for kids as well. Thanks for your perspective 🫡🔥🎮
