July ‘24 Update: Sony finally has updated the Portal to use public WiFi, check THIS out!! 👇
PlayStation Portal: HUGE 3.0 Public Wi-Fi Update!!
ruclips.net/video/Hu_AjCWWzsM/видео.html
I was laughing at the fact you put it in the trunk and didn’t just take it with you in the passenger seat 😂 I got a kick out of that
Oh yeah I didn’t think about the passenger seat as an alternative option 😂😂
Mileage will vary on public wifi or LTE. That would be true for any gaming streaming device. Only major issue with Portal is the browser thing they need to solve.
There is a work around using a laptop and changing the MAC address. I believe there are some videos out there to help. However this is not convenient whatsoever
Xbox remote play works great on 5g
Check out the update video! 👇
PlayStation Portal: Do 4G/5G HOTSPOTS work AFTER ALL?!?
ruclips.net/video/ydHjO00kZik/видео.html
I have the portal and I can connect to my mobile hot spot
Thanks Daniel, I’ll look into this! 🙌
It can be done but no idea how to get it to connect to mine
What issues r u haveing
@danielgreatorex7468 well i believe its something to do with the apn settings. It connects on my phone but then wont load into remote play and my mobile data is always between 150-200mb
Hello
When I try
I'd connecting to my cell phones wifi it was not working as well. What can I do?
As someone who has to work away from home during the week (unable to bring my Ps5 with) , the Portal has been a godsend. Can play my PS5 when I'd otherwise have to wait til the weekend to play.
Ace, great to hear Rice! 🙌
Good download and upload speeds but again it didnt connect or had frozen problem..so wht should be ideal internet speed without any problem?? Otherwise no point to pay..
How did you get to connect i b away from home alot & i have problems trying to connect my portable to my ps5
@@Trillkev1 ideal if you have your Ps5 connected directly with lan wire to router or lan wire to range extender. Ps5 must be in rest mode and you need to turn on settings to turn on via WiFi, etc and make sure to turn off the sync with tv (setting where if you turn on your Ps5, you also turn on your tv) so that you don't have to worry about tv being on when you're away.
I play my Ps5 when I'm in a different town on a different WiFi network and it works great. Not good for competitive twitch shooters like cod but good for single player games and RPGs, etc
I will definitely get it now
I’m having trouble connecting to my ps5 from out of town my ps5 is in rest mode and my portal on hotel wifi still won’t connect
Hahaha best video! Nothing works but your attitude towards NANDO'S is priceless! 😂
Haha thanks Droide! Peri chicken, what can I say, it gets me soooo excited! 😂😂
@@PeteTalksTechmissed the rescue cat intermissions though😅 Pancake!
Can someone put this thing on a GOOD external WiFi connection, like at a different house. That’s what I want to see. Not connecting to some piss poor network. We know that won’t work well.
Right ? Some of these free networks can’t even allow me to send a photo through text. Let alone stream a game haha
It’s works bro at different house and really good, I’m a truck driver an it is amazing I use it anywhere like chicago , Denver literally anywhere while my PlayStation is back home
All it’s good for is if someone is using the tv in the house you can use the small hand held device
You can connect to the Free Wifi with your phone and then turn on your moble hotspot to use the Free Wifi. It will route it through your phone which has a browser. I don't know if iPhone does this but Android does
Did you find out if there is a way to do this with iPhone?
@@top10whatever not sure.. I haven't used an iPhone in 14 years
@@top10whateveriphone definitely does this
@@i_c_e_555 really sooo what wd I look up on how to do that bro? Cause I have found that I can barely play this thing if I can’t connect to public wifi
Wich android phones can do this any idea
I cant connect when im in a different room with a different wifi how is yours woking from a restart
Thank u for helping me with this issue
Happy to help Gam3r! 🙌
I use my hotspot to use this device I noticed if u have a vpn activated while trying to connect to ur phone hotspot it won’t connect unless u turn off ur vpn.
They got cases for the portal @ amazon
I live in texas where my PS5 resides and am on vacation at my wife’s family’s house in MA. Even on great wifi, the portal will not stay connected. Hope this gets fixed, however it seems this devise was really designed to be a second screen for home use.
Thanks for sharing your experience Sam! 🙌
Update: it stays connected longer with turn based games like Civilization Revolution. But still will lag out and disconnect every so while.
Great video man. The portal is perfect for when my wife wants the tv.
Thanks Paul! Yes it absolutely is you’re right, a true game changer for us husbands!
I really liked the device. I received it the day before the release into mass sales. At home it connects and works well, but we were never able to connect remotely from my friends house. Although all settings were correctly installed on both ps5 and PS portal, stable internet is 600mb. I don’t know what this is connected with, but I couldn’t connect.
Thanks for video
Idiot it doesn't connect to any wifi
You gotta port forward to be able to remoteplay from outside. There are guides (google portforward ps5 remote play)
So back in your house the ps5 will automatically turn on and freak out your family with some deadly gta online? Or the ps5 in your house will stay off? At least rest mode?
I did want one due to sometimes wanting to play my PS5 around the house and not be stuck in the living room but a lot of my retailers sells out fast by me and their is so much damn resellers selling it for double the price it’s not even worth it.
Does your console have to be or or can it be in rest mode while playing
It can be in rest mode
can you use PlayStation portal if your frined has a pa5 and you dont and comnect to friends ps5 go home and play does it work?? please let me know
Hey Damien I’m pretty sure it does as long as you link it to it 👍
You can buy unofficial cases for the portal
I tried to use mine away at a family member house during thanksgiving and it wouldn’t connect. I left my ps5 at home in rest mode smh
This might be a stupid question, but if you are using the portal out on the go, does your PS5 need to be on or in rest mode? Or can it be switched off?
It’s not a stupid question Chandler, we’re all learning together!
PS5 HAS to be in rest mode at all times 👍
@@PeteTalksTech Thanks for the quick reply, because I wasn’t sure on that. have mine here, ready to go!
Awesome, let us know how you find it! 🙌
i just realize the ps5 and the portal should have same wifi connected so how can u play the portal outside the house
Is your ps5 hard wired to the internet at home?
If you plan on getting a Playstation portal just to play away from home. I'd recommend looking into a windows handheld gaming pc
You’re right Marlon in that games installed NATIVE on a handheld will always be the best compared to cloud streaming/ remote play.
Here on the channel is a big focus on the ROG Ally PC handheld and this is an INCREDIBLE device!
how about using portable wifi?
I played my portal at the barbershop while waiting to get a haircut. There were no issues at all . I had the option of using the barbershop wifi or my cellphone hotspot .
So u can take the portable away from home?
@jnrman13hd41 Yes, the longest you have good wifi or use your mobile Hotspot.
@@jnrman13hd41 yes
Yes it does I have no problem with I was connected to my hotspot works perfect
LOOL Damn you cleaned them bones down! 😂 salute! I do the same
Yep! I want my money’s worth! 😂😂😂
@@PeteTalksTech 😫🤣🤣🤣 exactly!
Ps portal works without ps consolle?
Happy to find your channel! Love this video and your whole vibe! I’ll subscribe 😊
Thanks so much for the sub and kind words rtara, so appreciate all you awesome viewers! 🙌
Portal can connect to wifi hotspot as i did it earlier today off of my phone.
Hey yes I did manage to get a mobile hotspot working off my iPhone too in my follow up vid! 👇
PlayStation Portal: Do 4G/5G HOTSPOTS work AFTER ALL?!?
ruclips.net/video/ydHjO00kZik/видео.html
Can’t connect to work WiFi then as has browser pop up to fill in password. Not much thought went into this device clearly
I had mines since Christmas and I still can’t get it to work from the house
Silly question, but have you enabled remote play on your ps5?
Love Nandos.. ate at South Africa, Qatar, D.C. and VA Beach locations.
Awesome Brandon! 🙌
Hey man I just thought a PlayStation portal. I cannot get it to work away from home. I have a hotspot that I bought! It’ll connect to the psp but it won’t let me turn on the PlayStation
Congrats on your new Portal Tilly! I go through how to connect to a 4G or 5G hotspot in this vid and if your PS5 is in Sleep mode then it should work! 👇
ruclips.net/video/ydHjO00kZik/видео.htmlsi=WzW6ECNXAX1WAOGP
It's really a shame that the Portal has so many shortcomings- it is an attractive device with a great screen. Thanks for the great video!
Thank you Batsai! 🙌
Even at home you would need perfect wifi I think Sony is just trying to make more money
I have a case for my ps portal in the us
bro how mine is not working
Someone finally made a video like this
So if I took it to my friend s I can still use it ????
In theory yes on their WiFi, but there’s no guarantees it will be an enjoyable experience…
Will this work on a friend’s home wifi if I were to bring it there ? Or does it HAVE to be used at your own home only
Great question Jut, it SHOULD work on ANY network as long as your PS5 is in Sleep Mode - let us know if it works or not! 👍
@@PeteTalksTech I should’ve specified more, Im interested in getting one of these but was wondering if I took it to a friends house, if it would work fine on their home network
Ah ok, yes it should - do let us know how you go on with this! 👍
Nice!!! The PS Portal isn't bad at all. I would've thought it would have a browser. That's crazy.
I don't get how it doesn't have a browser. That's useless. But I'm sure Playstation either wants you to only use within your house, or so you wouldn't be able to download other streaming services (such as GeForce Now)
This is exactly the test that I wanted to see. I’m gonna hold off on this device for now and stick to just using an ipad pro for remote play. The fact that it doesn’t even have a basic web browser to handle public wifi setup throws me off. Which means the portal won’t be able to connect even to high speed hotel wifi that requires logging in. 😢
@JUDAHYAHWEHKiNGat least they xan connect to public wifi
Use the steam deck for PS5 remote play instead. :)
It's the PS5 what doesn't have a web browser not the portal.
Why would anyone connect to a public wifi. Would be crazy slow. Even at home to stream games it's rubbish. I do like this portal. But first I have to get a PS5 😅
@@rf6497 not really “public” wifi hehe. I’m talking about high speed hotel wifi whenever I go on trips. Almost all require a browser to login. But anyway, I probably belong to those minority with this use case 😁
I’m looking for a case right now lol
Would it work if i try playing in mexico and my ps5 is on the us?? Thats my question and why i would get it
This is a great question! I’d love to try it… I don’t see why not! 🤷
I’m traveling to another country
If I had a portal I would’ve wanted to test using the portal in a different continent while my ps5 is in the US lol
Wow that would have been a great thing to test out!
Mobile hotspot can be hit/miss.
Works with some carriers, & doesn’t with others. Works with mine, but the gameplay can get very choppy/laggy.
I’ll be addressing this in an upcoming vid coming VERY SOON, stay tuned! 👀
Best review of all,congratulations
Thanks Eduardo, your encouragement means so much! 🙌
What if i have two houses and want to play it at the house with no ps5?
Hey Goofy it SHOULD work depending on how good your router/internet is…
A travel is what you need. Connect the travel to the public WiFi then sign in to the capture portal. Then connect the portal to the travel router
Mine just keeps saying something went wrong no matter what. Ps5 is on rest mode and settings are proper
same here
that’s odd, my portal can connect to my iphones hotspot
How did you do it I was able to use my hotspot now I can’t
This is why it's better to just use your phone with the controller attachment 😂
It’s laggy on phone
There is a case on Amazon for $30
The legendary Nando's!
lol I connect to my hot spot all the time and play flawlessly 🙃
Check out my update vid I just released on this!
PlayStation Portal: Does a MOBILE HOTSPOT work AFTER ALL?!?
ruclips.net/video/ydHjO00kZik/видео.html
It dies work with mobile hotspot
Doesnt work when ps5 is in rest mode when i access the portal it turns on the ps5 so how can i play away from home with the ps5 being on rest mode
Hey Chris, in theory it SHOULD turn PS5 on when console is in rest mode, but as you can see from the vid the Portal is pretty temperamental… 🤷
@@PeteTalksTech i watched a few vids on here and saw people using their portals when the ps5 was in rest mode but when ever i turn on my portal it turns on the ps5 seems pretty pointless to me i only just got it today but really thinking of sending it back
Understandable Chris, perhaps consider a Steam Deck OLED that plays games natively, can play Xbox Game Pass cloud gaming, play retro games, and erm does PS5 remote play BETTER than the Portal…
ruclips.net/video/PoSAKzuOwh8/видео.htmlsi=A_sktVhCoyN692mP
Do you just leave your ps5 at home in standby mode?
Yep!
Sony will probably never add a browser because it can be used to hack the device in order to install custom firmwares which will do ps portal much useful.
Thank you for the video! :)
Great point Manuel, thank you! 🙌
I mean it's not powerful enough to run any games natively 🤷 it's cpu is for streaming .
It’s literally just another accessory to the ps5 you can’t even use it in a hotel bc there’s no web browser which makes no sense to bc it’s a portable device and that’s a bummer which is crazy to me bc I wasn’t even excited for it when it was coming out but I like the idea of play station coming out with a new portable device
Mine isn’t working
This is so upsetting that it doesn’t have a web browser support to be able to connect to WiFi. I travel a lot and most hotels require a web browser. I really hope Sony fixes this soon!
Just connect to ur mobile device mine works fine
Why would you want to use some crappy public wifi. Just hotspot from your phone
@@linkvagar2336 then it would defeat the purpose of me getting it lol I never used to do the whole remote thing because I didn’t want to drain my phone battery…
Why would it have a web browser? It’s just a screen that mirrors the ps5….thats it nothing more.
If you really want to connect to a crappy public wifi, there is still a way if you have a laptop with you.
Just change your laptop's mac address to match your portals mac, then authenticate using your laptop. Next connect your portal. But public wifi is really not recommended.
I have a steam deck and my portal is ordered different device for different use
different controller en screen that is.. But your steamdeck can do the same as the PS Portal. The Portal cant do the same as your steamdeck tho
haptic feedback trigger resistance 16:9 instead of 16:10 @@wizy0wazy bigger screen. yoursmartphone also can also play game and stream lol . I use my steam deck to play my steam game and plays roms . Different devices for different use . Feel free to do however you like .
We have Nandos in Canada too lol.
Nice!! Is there an option to drizzle it in maple syrup too? 😂😂
Doesn’t seem to work at all, beside my ps5 and still have lag
You’re right Kyle - I mentioned this in one of my latest vids 👇

My WiFi speed is 20mbp it’s worth it to buy one ?
I pay 40,000 IQD (25 USD) AND ITS SO BAD ITS 1MBPS OR EVEN 500KPBS LIKE WHAT THE HELL
My portal works just fine on hotspot
Thanks for posting this. I think this was the last nail in the coffin for me to NOT get a ps portal for when I travel.
Hey Dom thanks - yes as you can see in the vid the Portal is just too unreliable for playing away from home unfortunately… I got a Steam Deck OLED and this is PERFECT for playing away from home with a battery life of up to 12 hours so definitely consider this instead 🙌
@@PeteTalksTech nice! I need to look into the steam deck more. Just worried about having to purchase multiple copies of games that I would already be playing on PS

I didn’t know that had a restaurant 😅😂😂 my name is Nando
Awesome Nando! 🙌
People saying it can connect to your phone's hotspot. Yes because you don't need a browser for that. It can't connect to hotspots or public wifi that require a login.
Now I fancy a Nando's 😋
You wish the Wi-Fi was good as that chicken, LOL!
Hahahaa! Nice one Joker! 🙌
They would’ve hit the nail on the head if it could work offline.. or even if it needed a SIM card or something lol
@PeteTalksTech, Nando's and the Peri-peri cooking style/seasoning/sauce is not Portuguese. It's South African. Love their food and sauces. Otherwise, cool video and enjoy your Portal.
Ahhh thanks Kendrick! Man I have to visit South Africa sometime, incredible food! 🤩
@@PeteTalksTech, Kedrick, not Kendrick. And you're welcome, lol.
FINALLY, a video where someone talks about testing this thing outside their home and actually gets to the freaking point of that! Far too many people take too long with doing what they titled their videos and frankly, its borderline clickbait.
Thanks Keiji, I've noticed that too! Only the best for you great viewers! 🙌
Hey, is that Chill Factore Nandos??
02:56 answered my question!!
Does your playstation have to be on
It does yep…
#GOAT @PeteTalksTech
Thanks so much Hunz! I so appreciate you and all our loyal, regular viewers to the channel! 🙌
I think it’s what you said at the beginning of the video. I think this was designed for your house.
Mine works fine with my iPhone 14 as a mobile hotspot so not sure why you were having issues. That said I’ve not tried it on any other hotspot other than my iPhone.
Doesnt work on my iPhone and we are many with the same problem
@@Melycendres how odd it works fine with mine in 5G.
So you don’t have a back seat you could have layed it on lol
Mine works with mobile hotspot with no problem
Many other youtubers have connected it to there hotspot..maybe its your hotspot settings
I’m working on this - stay TUNED for a vid coming on this VERY SOON! 👀
Hi same thing haopened to me and i solved it by port forwarding. With my hotspot.
Awesome James! Do you have a guide on port forwarding you found helpful and I’ll make a vid guide on it? Thanks!
@@PeteTalksTech search for "Playstation Portal & Remote Play - EASY Port Forwarding PS5" by a youtuber called "TheGameFather" I followed his video and the hotspot worked perfectly after.
Thanks James!
My WiFi is barely 50 so this won't be good for me I guess lol
Why you put it in the trunk? 😂
Well it would be fun to tell the police.. When or if your portable walks out the house after company.. That they are probably not meant to be used away from the ps5. They only work at home maybe with the ps5 around. Haha
Change your hotspot wifi name & password to be exactly the same as your home router SSID
Can you explain in steps?
Thanks I’ll try this! 🙌
@@nwing07__ All you'll be doing is copying your routers WiFi access details, the same details you entered when you 1st setup the portal
Search your mobiles settings for hotspot name or tethering - then edit your phone's hotspot name / password to match
if you still can't connect your personal hotspot, it's likely an issue with your mobile networks "NAT type". Look it up
What are YOUR thoughts of the PlayStation Portal? Explain below!
As long as the playstation itself has a solid connection and the portal has a connection about 50mbps then game play is very gd no other device can play remote play in the same way for a £199 accessory considering the edge controller costs £209 ain't a massive hole in the pocket like the rog ally and Legion Go ect
Just buy a Steam Deck. @@danielgreatorex7468
im scared to buy because im not sure if ill get stick drift
i think the portal is awesome but so much ice
I knew it would be a great device. Imma buy one later down the line. I’ve seen that “SCALPERS” got their hands on tons of these like the PS5
While many of the other stupid decisions Sony made with this device can be written off to corporate greed (like the lack of bluetooth connection, requiring you to exclusively use Sony's wireless earbuds)....why on earth would they disallow you to use it on public wifi networks that want you to sign in? Isn't that an overwhelming majority of public wifi spots? I am truly baffled.
To avoid hacking
It's pretty cool but i would prefer a steam deck
@@viciousviolet3783it can also do 4 times the stuff the portal can do AND exactly what the portal can do😂 cool screen tho
The PS5 doesn't have a browser, it's not a issue with the portal
Ps5 has a hidden browser
Lol I have a case for my portal
I got a new case Rellik for my update vid on using the Portal away from home, check it out! 👇
ruclips.net/video/Hu_AjCWWzsM/видео.htmlsi=izV--bPlNhCapQyX
Why does it have airplane mode?
Very good question
The thing about the portal is that its not portable , for best results you need to bring the ps5 with you too 😂
