What’s the point of the travel router if you’re still connecting to the hotspot of your phone? I thought you meant it would connect to the 5g signal of your carrier not the mobile hotspot. You can still use your hotspot without this travel router i am trying to figure out what the point is
The point is to bypass carrier restrictions for portal owners who can’t connect to their mobile hotspot. I explained this in the video.. on top of that the router can be used in hotel rooms so there’s no more network issues between connecting the portal and the tricky hotel WiFi firewalls out there. Hope this help you understand 🫡🎮🔥
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 a PS Portal owner I would suggest everyone connects their Ps5 to an Ethernet cable rather than WiFi. And of course your Ps Portal to any WiFi with good speed, I haven’t had an issue an even when I’m not home. But I would like to try this travel router like in hotels, while in the car to see how good the connection is. Awesome Video brother 🙏🏼
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!
If you get a wireless plug outlet you can take it a step further without having to rely on a wall outlet you can put the router and the wireless outlet in a book bag and be good for gaming. I just dislike how we have to do all this for it to work. The portal should be able to work perfect hooked up to any public WiFi / hotspot long as you have a good connection.
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 have an iPhone 15 pro max on the latest update and my phone provider is EE in the UK and I did this and it worked EE would not let me use my portable when using hotspot this was a perfect fix
appreciate your time making this video. Question: Isn't saying this device makes your Hotspot signal stronger similar to saying a new router will give your internet speeds a boost over what the ISP offers you....right?? For example, if u have verizon home internet and they say the max speed you will get is 500 mbps, nothing your going to buy will improve that max speed...correct?
Hey good question! Essentially yes. From my testing the router has helped me avoid signal drops and disconnects while gaming on the go! Now for speeds, the speeds will remain the same but connection doesn't drop out like it does when I Hotspot directly from my phone at times. I'm currently working on a video showing this. Even when in a congested area the signal remains connected, it might a little choppy but it still keeps you connected 🫡🎮🔥 Hope this helps.
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
Hi, i have t mobile europe version 😅mobile internet plan is nat 3 the hotspot from my phone will never work on ps portal this kind of router can change nat 3 on nat 2?
What's good thanks for this video I went out an got one..... When I first got it I was able to connect an set it up at home!... Smh when I took it out of the house I couldn't connect to the router nor through Hotspot... Plz help what am I doing wrong
so are you using your regular cell phone data and turning it into hotspot? or your using your hotspot on your cell phone from your carrier as the main source of data? because this would be fire fire for a person that don't have hotspot but can turn there cellular data into hotspot with this Travel router or correct me if I'm wrong, but if you are doing that im sold.
So if i pay for mobile hotspot on my phone what purpose does this serve? Won't the portal recognize my phone and allow me to connect like my tablet does?
Sup Dtrain, good question! 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 even with poor signal🫡🔥🎮 hope this helps!
Hey tech mark quick question, so I do security work overnight and I literally sit in my car for 8+ hours. I did buy a PlayStation portal and It does work good in my home. I do have great/strong WiFi. I did connect to my ps5 using the portal at work with my hotspot on my phone. It did work for about an hour and then I used up all my high speed data and it went to 5glte. However it disconnects after 10-20 second because of bad connection. So I don’t know what to do because I know for a fact it worked but it doesn’t anymore! All I play is marvel rivals too. I tried connecting to the Costco free internet (I work outside it) and I just can’t seem to play.
Sup Erik, yes this router is legit for your use case. If you have a newer phone I’d recommend grabbing the WiFi 6 version of this router. On my channel & in the description I have a video called 'Play ANYWHERE With The BEST Travel Router for Playstation Portal!' Which shows uou the performance outdoors in a decent coverage area. Hope this helps & stay safe out there!🫡🎮🔥
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
Question I have a Solis lite 4g hotspot I can connect the PlayStation portal via WiFi and it works also I have my ps5 console at home on lan cable now I can turn on the ps5 but the portal can’t connect to the ps5 to play on the go. so i don’t know if it’s a firewall that’s blocking it or I need a different way to connect.
Nah you should still be able to connect! Sometimes the network doesn't connect for minor reasons. Check out my video called "How To Fix PlayStation Portal WiFi Connection Issues' where I walk you through all the steps I use to fix it! I left a link in the description. Let me know if this works for you 🫡🔥🎮
It can if you have access to they're ethernet port which is highly unlikely! For my use case I use this for hotels & my mobile Hotspot. Hope this helps 🫡🎮🔥
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 🫡🔥🎮 hope this helps!
So question, I have a portable hotspot (nighthawk) that I bought from AT&T.. it’s a box portable. Now would it make a difference if i bought the to go hotspot router? I mean i can connect to it but now sure if it will do any different?
If the portal connects to your mobile Hotspot then I think you'd be fine. I noticed that I don't get disconnected no matter the speeds using the travel router. compared to my mobile Hotspot directly from my phone! I'll still have to do more testing🫡🔥🎮 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.
My portal refuses to connect ps5 through my hotspot and with your custom hotspot thing and I’ve bought this router still refuses to connect…. Love it. Is it because my iPhone 15? Or that I’m with Vodafone?
Hey sion, I have a iPhone 16 pro max on t mobile. After doing some research I noticed that Vodafone cellular towers are NAT type 3. While the portal is a NAT type 2 device. Maybe that’s what’s preventing you from connecting. Did you try it on another phone? (If possible?)
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!
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 🫡🔥🎮 hope this helps!
Hey man, I picked up the router after watching your video. I cannot get my iPhone 15 pro max to recognize the router and prompt the “trust” option. It only charges my iPhone and won’t recognize it for tethering. I have already connected to the routers wifi on my iPhone, turned on “maximize comparability,” and turned on the discoverable hot spot option. Even tried two different USB C to USB cables. Any ideas anyone?
Hey Thanks for commenting! So after some testing I found out that when I use official Sony USB-C cables (that came with the portal/ dual sense / PS5) with my iPhone, that’s when it works so I’m guessing data cables. Hope this helps Michael 🫡🔥🎮 lmk if you have any other question
Imma be honest the portal is a waste of a good 200 bones, but that’s just my opinion I feel like they just want you send more money in PlayStation store like buying subscription just so you can use your ps portal and you always need WiFi for it. This coming from Sony is worst portable console they ever put out “ IN MY OPINION 🤗”
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.
Man...i hear you! Its probably a a process, since they need to have the "proper" game performace for the average player to be sure the games are going to run efficiently. After owning the portal for some time I can appreciate the device a for what it is. Huge potential imo🫡🔥🎮
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
I have major issues connecting to the portal with my AT&T hotspot showing NAT 2. Do you think thisbwill fix that issue? I think it's similar to the tmobile hotspot issue right?
I wish that was the case but 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 🫡🔥🎮 hope this helps!
What cable are you plugging into your iPhone/android to router? I’d recommend a data/ official OEM USB-C cable. Also try using the official router wall plug for the proper wattage (if possible) lmk what happens Josh!
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
Bro, having your hotspot go to a router before going to your device is an extra route for the hotspot instead of sending the signal straight to your device. Having a hotspot router doesn’t majically generate faster internet speeds to send to your devices. 😂
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
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.
Hey Jared, I believe the new iOS 18 update has created some bugs with the connection process. There’s been a few instances where this happened as well. The only way I could get this working again was restarting my phone, portal, and the router. I also had to replugin my iPhone in order to get it to work. I’m working on an updated video to help troubleshoot this process. Hope this helps!
I genuinely don't understand what this product adds, other than latency, if you have just a PlayStation Portal and a phone that can create a 5GHz wireless hotspot already on a 5G mobile network What am I missing?
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 🫡🔥🎮

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

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.
Man...i hear you! Its probably a a process, since they need to have the "proper" game performace for the average player to be sure the games are going to run efficiently. After owning the portal for some time I can appreciate the device a for what it is. Huge potential imo🫡🔥🎮
Does it work on public wifi??
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
I have major issues connecting to the portal with my AT&T hotspot showing NAT 2. Do you think thisbwill fix that issue? I think it's similar to the tmobile hotspot issue right?
This definitely will! T mobile has the same issues so I used this travel router to bypass the NAT restriction
@TechMarkGaming That would be awesome because that's been the most frustrating part. Im def going to give it a shot, Thank you!!
Currently working on a newer video of me using it in my car stay tuned! & good luck mate 🫡🔥🎮
YOU DO NOT NEED THIS DEVICE YOU CAN CONNECT DIRECTLY 😂
I wish that was the case but 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 🫡🔥🎮 hope this helps!
Is there a mobile router solution (does not require the power cable) that allows me to play ps portal?
@@TechMarkGaming so I double checked with 4 different carriers told by all 4 they do not block thats illegal so please explain you lies
@kicks2047 yes its called hotspot
i did everything and it still doesn’t connect to my ps5
Is this only for iphone?
Android and iPhone!
My phone won’t say trust this device for tethering
What cable are you plugging into your iPhone/android to router? I’d recommend a data/ official OEM USB-C cable. Also try using the official router wall plug for the proper wattage (if possible) lmk what happens Josh!
Learn your USB port types please
I'm working on it 😂 thanks for the feedback!
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
@@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
@@Bigg14726any update with your portal as I’m having the same issue as you
My iphone 12 hotspot runs seamlessly without this travel router
That's good! The iPhone 12's is still ahead of its time 🫡🔥🎮
How do I get this router
Check out the description! I have everything listed ⬇️🫡🔥🎮
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!
Fix
I how
I'm about to give up. This is a POS device. All this trouble and still can't connect to hotspot. I'll just play on my phone
Bro, having your hotspot go to a router before going to your device is an extra route for the hotspot instead of sending the signal straight to your device. Having a hotspot router doesn’t majically generate faster internet speeds to send to your devices. 😂
Link doesnt work i have an android phone. What do i do?
Peace Ryan, what link doesn't work? & yes this works for android and iPhone!
The http address doesn't load when I type it in the search bar on my phone. It also doesn't load when I type it in a computer
That's odd, is your phone connected to the router before you type in the web address?
Yes sir it is
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
I think on android device, you need to enable usb tethering
Same like me here
Cloud Not Working 😐😐😐 can’t start because your internet connection quality might not be sufficient to play streaming games 😐😐😐
iPhone works just fine
The hot spot or WiFi away from home don’t work. I want my 200 dollars back
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.
It's just that simple 🫡🔥🎮
*****I HAVE AN IPHONE 15 PRO MAX AND MY HOTSPOT WOKS GREAT WITH MY PS PORTAL AS LONG AS IM IN A 5G COVERAGE AREA WHICH IS ALL OVER MY CITY*****
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.
Still won’t work
What cell phone carrier do you have?
T-mobile
Have you tried manually resetting your router PS5, phone and the portal?
This does NOT work on C port phones examples are iPhone 15+
Hey Jared, I believe the new iOS 18 update has created some bugs with the connection process. There’s been a few instances where this happened as well. The only way I could get this working again was restarting my phone, portal, and the router. I also had to replugin my iPhone in order to get it to work. I’m working on an updated video to help troubleshoot this process. Hope this helps!
@@TechMarkGaming aye thank you man
@@TechMarkGaming I also ran into another issue where the server isn’t responding at all
Buy a real 5g router. Put a Sim Card into it and have wifi 6 and fantastic speeds. You can also take it everywhere.
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
Stupid ? I have a T Mobile hotspot, will this work instead of my phone
Yes, this is the best work around imo!
I genuinely don't understand what this product adds, other than latency, if you have just a PlayStation Portal and a phone that can create a 5GHz wireless hotspot already on a 5G mobile network
What am I missing?
I dont have one yet, but it seems to boost the signal stronger than the phone's hotspot to the portal alone.
PS5 college football 25
It's too much just go out and get a portable PC gaming system and be done with 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 🫡🔥🎮
