[@4kmentality]

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

[@PeteTalksTech]

Oh yeah I didn’t think about the passenger seat as an alternative option 😂😂

[@jeffcarrier9808]

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.

[@samconiglio5610]

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

[@FernandoMartinez-pv1id]

Xbox remote play works great on 5g

[@D.AverageJoe]

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

How did you get to connect i b away from home alot & i have problems trying to connect my portable to my ps5

[@rice5phere]

@@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

[@terrenceparker3119]

They got cases for the portal @ amazon

[@halfmanamazing549]

You can buy unofficial cases for the portal

[@chandler1x]

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 👍

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.

[@samconiglio5610]

Update: it stays connected longer with turn based games like Civilization Revolution. But still will lag out and disconnect every so while.

[@jay_tno_2007]

Does your console have to be or or can it be in rest mode while playing

[@Snake_eyes0]

It can be in rest mode

[@lordbaldski9455]

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?

[@marlonwoods4242]

If you plan on getting a Playstation portal just to play away from home. I'd recommend looking into a windows handheld gaming pc

[@PeteTalksTech]

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!

[@Step-Art]

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

[@theoriginalmedzgaming476]

You gotta port forward to be able to remoteplay from outside. There are guides (google portforward ps5 remote play)

[@youngcarboy535]

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)

What are YOUR thoughts of the PlayStation Portal? Explain below!

[@danielgreatorex7468]

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

[@horhe0423]

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. 😢

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.

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?

The PS5 doesn't have a browser, it's not a issue with the portal

[@SeeThruSmoke]

Ps5 has a hidden browser

[@beboschannel8584]

The thing about the portal is that its not portable , for best results you need to bring the ps5 with you too 😂

Portal $200: packaged in a french styled pull-out drawer with an external box PS5 $500: packaged using egg cartons and no external box make sense

😂😂😂 so true

[@Ceejaydee1978]

Dude - connect to the Nandos WiFi on your phone and then hotspot it to the portal. Much clearer and faster connection.

[@Analyzer52]

Most phones won't let you hot spot on WiFi. You are usually using hot spot because WiFi is not available.

[@Ceejaydee1978]

@@Analyzer52 I believe that's an issue with iPhones, Android phones let you piggyback on the existing WiFi and use your phone to hotspot. I acknowledge that's not a solution for everyone though.

​@Ceejaydee1978 I have an android and everytime I turn on hot spot it turns my wifi off. I'll try it again to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong

[@Ceejaydee1978]

@@Analyzer52 Ah, maybe it's just the Android phones I'm familiar with (Google Pixel series, Samsung S Series, Sony Xperia series). Or perhaps there's a setting somewhere in the options. I know my iphone-owning friends don't have it as an option. As an incidental aside, my Portal is actually clearer and faster when I'm hotspotting my phone from a Starbucks wifi than on my own home network... I suspect that says more about my rubbish home network though 😅
