Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed this video of me using the Playstation Portal & Opal Travel Router Outdoors at the La Fitness parking lot. This is my new favorite Portal Accessory! Have any question about this router? Let me know in the comments below 🫡 Thanks for watching!
I literally said in the video that I was in a congested area so the connection wasn’t as fast. This is for people who want to bypass carrier mobile hotspot restrictions… why would it be ironic?
@@TechMarkGaming I dunno, I could never play with such horrible sound and dropped frames. Not trying to sound fancy, it would just be a bad experience to me.
How do you think this will work I work graveyard and have access to a wall outlet as well as a WiFi router would I be better off using a either net for the travel router or mobile hotspot I’d probably have to test it but also just trying to play nascar some MotoGP and couple other racing games no multiplayer stuff given that information how do you think it’ll do ? I have use just mobile hotspot for my m1 Mac to play no man’s sky Netflix but usually I run into using my data and kind slows down probably after about a week and half have non stop using… any tips are greatly appreciated
Bro your videos are 🔥. Just picked up the portal after the streaming update and I’m really enjoying playing on my couch and being present with the fam. Had issues initially pairing it with my cell phones wifi but one of your videos fixed that with the custom server settings. Ty!
@@TechMarkGaming Nah it's not the algorithm bro. I just haven't been on YT 😅. I been on that Marvel vs Capcom Collection and Katana Zero. I've been traveling a lot, so I had my Switch on deck. I thought about taking my Portal with me too, but keep deciding against just in case it doesn't work on all the different hotels' wifi
It's so many games to experience it's wild! I been thinking of getting a switch but still on the fence I miss those Nintendo 64 type of games! and to play them on the go sound dope. The portal keep surprising me everyday🫡🔥🎮
@@danieleesposito3018 I think people are just doing random things that don't help... I've heard a lot of nonsense online. If anything, adding another point in the connection (another router or extender) will only increase latency.
@lukastemberger I play using mobile hotspot. It's fine overall but I have a costant micro stuttering. Would this modem solve this issue by enanching the outgoing mobile hotspot?
@@danieleesposito3018 I think what you might be misunderstanding is that the hotspot that you have in your phone while yes you can do this, the signal strength that the portable router is going to give you with cell signal coverage i.e. its antennas ability to receive that cell phone signal and push that signal out as far greater than what your cell phone can do. That’s the only reason you want to use this.
@@Stev-mi2fdThe router doesn’t even have a LTE/5G modem to receive any kind of phone signal. The antennas are for WiFi use only makes it’s have broader range than the phones WiFi range.
Bro, adding a router to the connection creates a bottleneck for the hotspot signal. The best option is to directly connect your portal to your phones hotspot.
Yup! I tried this with the same router and it was not good at all. The micro stutter was very bad and not worth sacrificng game play at least for me. I use my phones hot spot directly and works almost perfectly depending upon how my cell service is in the area.
This is legit. I have a data line with Tmobile & have a 100 GB high-speed data. If I connect my portal directly to the Hotspot it keeps disconnecting. With the travel router tethered to the Hotspot, it keeps the connection stable but I'm not getting the choppiness you get tho. When I test the speeds when it's tethered, I'm getting the same 150 down & around 100 up if my portal is connected directly to the Hotspot. I can game anywhere with this thing!
Many portal gamers aren’t able to connect directly from the phones mobile hotspot because many carriers block remote play. This router is the ultimate bypass for a solid connection & from my testing the router makes the connection more stable especially when the signal is weak🫡🔥🎮 hope this helps!
Question, I just bought one but I haven’t been home for about 27 days due to my job being away all the time. Do I have to connect it to my ps first before I can use it where I’m at? Or is there a way to connect without having to be in person to my ps?
As long as remote play is enabled and your PS5 is in rest mode, you won't need it for setup. Now if there’s network connection issues it might not work so it’s 50/50. I recommend doing it on the same network but give it a try! 🫡🔥🎮 hope this helps.
Mine would only work when I set it up with my ps5 first. After that as long as I leave my ps5 in rest mode I can connect from anywhere that has strong WiFi.
hey, I wanted to ask, after setting up the first initial time did you have issues? i’m having issues reconnecting. When I first got it, it worked great the first time now I’m constantly having to reset the device and go through the set up and even after I go to the set up, it’s not detecting my phone most of the time.
Nope I have a video of the setup process. Now I do believe that the new iOS 18 update hindered the connection process 🧐 I’ll do some testing within the next few days to see what’s going on! Thanks for bringing this up Brooklyn 😁
@@TechMarkGaming yeah I actually used your video to set it up. I just don’t know whats going on it worked great the first day or 2 now i dont know if maybe I got a bad router because it’s just not connecting.

U think it was choppy because the router isnt wifi 6 or because the traffic or because of their internet only being 9mbps which is the cheapest internet money can buy ? Im asking because i was thinking about buying a wifi 6 version of this for 75 bucks. Please let me know. Leaving to NY soon..... i may get the ps5 pro but not at launch because ill be in NY at launch and dont really have time to play a console while being there but a portal i can manage in my time
In my previous video it's wasn't choppy at all! It's definitely the area I'm in! But I'm sure the wifi 6 version performs slightly better than this one! For my use case this definitely does the job! Have fun in new york 🫡🎮🔥
@@TechMarkGaming imma cop this one then if u think the wifi 6 wont really be that much of a difference. Yea im headed there for work.. its that time of the year again 🙏💪
@@rubenmeza2690 the portal? Its good. Not perfect but good enough to enjoy all your triple A games that isnt multiplayer away from home or anywhere that isnt your tv.
I got the Asus rog ally. Just hook up to my mobile hotspot and I'm good to go. Play call of duty online no lag. Also have 75,000 mah power bank can charge it 8 times so play all day.
Idk what i did wrong this does work for me tho man very poor connection i cant even load cloud games which is disappointing because i trying this in a couple of locations 4:27
I think we are moving a step in the right direction as far as true mobile gaming. PlayStation is most likely testing the waters with the Portal. In my previous video the hotspot ran smoother than this. I’m guessing it’s location based as well. Thanks for your comment 🫡🔥🎮
I agree. It’s because the internet speeds I had (7mbps) 😭 I completed another stage of astrobot using the router without getting kicked offline which is surprising.. thanks for the comment 🫡🔥🎮
The PS5, the pro is too expensive in the ps. 5 1st wave. Our systems are better than any waves. The PS5, the pro is too expensive in the ps5 1st wave. Our systems are better than any waves. 😮😮😮
Yup the internet speeds wasn’t fast in this location. It’s location dependent and internet speeds at home! Now if you want to grind out a story mode game or play slower paced games it can come in handy for the trophy hunters out there 🫡🔥🎮 thanks for the comment!

This is now my workaround for the T-Mobile Hotspot issue I’m still facing.
Bro your videos are 🔥. Just picked up the portal after the streaming update and I’m really enjoying playing on my couch and being present with the fam. Had issues initially pairing it with my cell phones wifi but one of your videos fixed that with the custom server settings. Ty!
I like honesty. This is good information. I've used public Wi-Fi to an old LG G8x phone, then Hotspot it to the Portal. Not capable on my new phones.
Haven't seen your videos in a while. I just went through to watch and like everything I've missed
Getting drowned into the algorithm now but I’ve been active! We just here to have fun at the end of the day 🫡🎮🔥 what have you been playing lately?
@@TechMarkGaming Nah it's not the algorithm bro. I just haven't been on YT 😅. I been on that Marvel vs Capcom Collection and Katana Zero. I've been traveling a lot, so I had my Switch on deck.

@@TechMarkGaming it's TOO many games bro!
Oooyy my guy 💪🏿💪🏿 keep dropping that fire and all portal players are awesome 🫡😎🔥🔥🔥🔥
Preciate you Jonny! Great time to be a gamer🫡🔥🎮
I’ve been doing this for months while I’m OTR using my mobile hotspot box. If my signal is strong it’s flawless.
Word! This definitely came in clutch for me a few times on the road so far 🫡🔥🎮
I use a cricket wireless turbo hotspot works anywhere I park to use the PS portal.
Cricket wireless for the win🫡🔥🎮
I don't see a point in doing this? Can't you just connect it to to your phone hotspot?
I have the Same question. Does this modem actually improve the phone signal strength?

When using the hotspot on your phone, take it off battery save mode.
It’ll run better.
Be careful with the magsafe charger on top on the LCD on portal it'll pull a rainbow ring towards screen
I wish they would’ve added eSIM or a sim slot
BIG FACTS! Maybe later

Thanks for the honest review! This router has been a Gem so far 💎🫡🔥🎮
Im curious why the router? I have a mobile hotspot but never used it and I just got my Portal for Christmas. Just wondering if it makes a difference?

You have to tether your phone to the router and use your mobile data for best connection
That’s the best way 🫡🔥🎮

Is weird but I can’t connect my Portal to my hotspot.. so I may need a router.
Yea im grabbing the ps5 pro day 1
Yessir I’m sure they will sell despite what other gamers are saying.. 🫡🔥🎮
What’s the first game ?the one in space
Astro bot 🫡 can’t go wrong with this game!

@@WavyVaporizers Hey, what's it like so far ?
@@rubenmeza2690 the portal? Its good. Not perfect but good enough to enjoy all your triple A games that isnt multiplayer away from home or anywhere that isnt your tv.
How is it connecting to your ps5 if your not around it I’m confused
The portal connects through mobile hotshot& The ps5 is connected to a home network.
I got the Asus rog ally. Just hook up to my mobile hotspot and I'm good to go. Play call of duty online no lag. Also have 75,000 mah power bank can charge it 8 times so play all day.
Power bank Amazon link please
Can i also use this to strengthen other wifi networks like Mcdonalds wifi also great video
I’m sure theres a way especially with android phones! Thank you! 🫡🔥🎮
I think ps portal only good in Asia if you wanna carry outside to play as there are so many free good wifi hot spot everywhere.
Thumb grips? Link?
Yessir, check the description 🫡🔥🎮
Idk what i did wrong this does work for me tho man very poor connection i cant even load cloud games which is disappointing because i trying this in a couple of locations 4:27
So i could play my PlayStation portal without ps5 on
It'll be on once you turn on the portal. Wakes up from rest mode
I’m going to try and grab a pro
Same! Looking forward to the graphic and visual improvements 🫡🔥🎮
Rather just play it when I want to be in bed or couch and not stuck on the gaming chair
Highly agreed! 🫡🔥🎮
ahh i wish it was better but it act does look unplayable :(
