The thing that blows my mind with this whole portal is why you can’t stream anything but games like how hard would it be for them to unlock the feature to let you watch KZbin or any streaming app I own this device and that is the part that kills me the mostthat’s a simple feature that would make this a lot more valuable

Yeah I agree too, it’s got to be a legal thing. Where their lazy fix was to just block all other apps other than games. Instead of verifying a list of apps.

The PS Portal only has Wi-Fi 5. Sorry to say that a router with WiFi 6E will do nothing for the quality. A much better advice is to plug the PS5 directly through Ethernet and to play as close to the router as possible. Also, don't have 30 other devices competing for your WiFi.

Don't compare this to the PSP and the PS Portal it's certainly not considered the successor of the PSP. The PSP was true handheld with it's own library games meanwhile the PS Portal is just a plain old streaming device.
