Hi,I hope you are keep well.Can’t thank you enough for posting this video.Very clear instructions on how to connect the PS Portal to a mobile hotspot.I found other videos about the matter overly complicated.You are an absolute star.Like and subscribe from me 👍😊
That’s why I just think it’s better off with the ps portal being it’s own console and you could just connect your account and be able to download games for it
@@KingLouieXD the current design of the portal is extremely lean, it's essentially nothing but a controller and a screen. Meanwhile, the PS5 itself is absolutely gigantic because that's how much space it takes to accommodate all the hardware needed to run games, including not just the GPU, CPU, and RAM, but the cooling system and the robust power supply needed to run everything. Just imagine strapping all that onto the back of the Portal; it would no longer be convenient.
Have you tried online gaming with the rog ally off of a 5g hotspot from a phone? I want to pick up the rog ally for cod mw3 since I’m a trucker but idk if 5g from my iPhone will cut it
Hi i order a ps portal and I'm doing night shifts as a security officer but i don't have access to any wifi what do you recommend me to get so i can play any games without the game sticking?
Hey Julius, funny you should ask, I’ve recently done on a vid on a TP Link router that fixed lag for me! 👇 How I FIXED LAG on my PlayStation Portal… ua-cam.com/video/qrZrtWoHRP4/v-deo.html Congrats on yer new Portal, let us know how you go on!
My Mobile Hotspot is freaking horrible. Im here at work trying it out and its not working that good. Aloy comes in at 240p instead of 1080p lol. Plus it keeps kicking me out. Maybe I should pay for the internet that my 2022 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack has. Maybe that will work better than my phones Hotspot
Hey Rockstar, check out my latest vid on this: Does the PlayStation Portal work at PIZZA HUT BUFFET?? ua-cam.com/video/hCLEQ_olZiQ/v-deo.html Mobile hotspot seems very ‘hit and miss’, I think a lot has to do with location and having a very strong signal 🤷
@@Jimmysky1 I think a lot of people. There is a difference with unlimited data and unlimited hot spot. A lot of plans cap the amount of hot spot you ger
I just ran a speed test on my cellphones mobile Hotspot. I'm getting 814 mbs downloads with 9.84 uploads at work not connected to any network or wifi just using my cellphone provider. That's 186 mbs short of 1 gig a second. I have a 1 GBS internet at home. I don't even have an eithernet connection to my PS5. So far I haven't had to use port forwarding to use Chiaki away from home on my Ally or Legion GO.
Great question! I haven’t tried this, but I’d imagine even though it will prob work performance won’t be optimal eg there will be lag as PS5 console really DOES need to be connected to router via Ethernet - but can any viewers help? 🤔
I have an AT&T standalone hotspot. When I connect the portal to the hot spot’s wifi and the ps5 to the home lan network, the portal does not connect to the system? I wannna be able to use my portal away from home but it isn’t working how I thought it would
Followed your steps exactly but just as you initially encountered the error, mine continues doing the same without any connectivity. Any way around this? I'm set up just as you did. Thank you in advance. Galaxy S22 Ultra.
Hey Josh, could it be yours is a different phone? Also perhaps try in a few different locations as it could be down to network coverage? Let us know how you go on and hope you get it fixed! 🙌
Android galaxy S22 with 5g coverage but would not connect at all after several attempts. Actually, I have the newer xreal glasses allowing full screen visuals in front of my eyes plugged into a S7 plus tablet. Even run great headphones along with the woojer 3 haptic feedback vest all running bluetooth. And so running that set up, it actually blows the portal experience into dust. I think some on this post should look into getting the woojer vest and xreal glasses hooking up via remote play to their phone or tablet. Promise it's insanely immersive!!! Even if ran from wifi, I'm probably selling the portal as there's no comparison in the whole visual & vibrational feedback experience my vest, glasses & ps5 controller provide through the PS remote app itself to be quite honest.
Heya. Do you think that its possible that the 4g only works with phones that support 5g? As my phone only supports LTE networks and Ive tried and tried and tried and tried again and it doesnt seem to work :(. Thanks
Hey Zacek, yes I think you’re right - LTE is renowned as being much poorer signal than 5G and even 4G which I’m guessing just would not connect very well (if at all) to the Portal…
I connected at work during the night but it didnt activate my playstation on and got stuck in rest mode. Anyway restqrted everything went to the gym that was like 5miles away i parked up and connected to ps portal and it connected so played quite a few missions on spiderman 2. Now hoping it connects wilst im at work at night tonight. Not sure why it didnt activate it from rest mode
Ah, could be poor network reception perhaps? Did you manage to follow the exact steps in the vid to set up connection between the Portal and you iPhone 15?
Depends on how many gs you got I know the power went out here one night and I used x cloud that was similar to Netflix usage. GeForce now is crazy gig eating at times. Not sure about local streaming I assume that would be even less than x cloud?
In the US I have 5G on T-Mobile and get around 600mb/sec down and 100mb/sec+ upload, I bet that would work amazing with the portal. I need to find one now 😂 Ive actually been in some spots of town where I've had 1Gig/sec down. Crazy speeds in the Dallas area.
Hey Dashi I understand your frustration 😪😪 Did you follow the steps closely from 1:51 onwards? And it still doesn’t work? Personally, I just think the Portal is too unreliable to use outside the home and gamers would be much better getting the Steam Deck OLED or ROG Ally for much better performance esp away from home…
@@PeteTalksTech it still doesn't which is a huge let down for me. I've been watching as many videos as I can find to see what others have been doing and it still doesn't work for me. It sucks big time and I'm probably going to sell my portal in the next few, days if I can't get it working. It's complete bullshit is what it is. I'll keep trying in the mean time
Hey Jake, if you followed the steps in this vid and it still doesn't work, then I'm not sure - I've found the Portal to be pretty unreliable when trying to play away from home unfortunately 😪
If you follow the instructions exactly in the vid Vlad then it should work even though it is a little tricky, hope you manage to get it working let us know!
I’m with talktalk so not a fancy router , is TK Link Archer AX3000 any good and on iPhone I’m not on latest version as I don’t trust latest update specially when it comes to battery life
Yeah that should be good Vlad - just any decent router should be better than the very basic one provided by Talk Talk… I don’t think it will matter what iPhone update version we’re on 👍
@@PeteTalksTechThe only reason I’ve got the portal is so I can play in work, didn’t know would be impossible to get it working using my phone as hotspot. In the past I’ve used PlayStation remote play on laptop and worked yes lagging and not too stable but using PlayStation own device is worse. So not happy that I now need to buy a router , what if that won’t help either. I’ve managed once to get it working but wanted to change from wifi 2.4 to Ethernet and then it fucked up. When I put PlayStation in stand by mode the portal wakes it up but just doesn’t connect. I’ve got it from a private seller new on eBay , if it was from very since I’ve had a discount from them but found it cheaper on eBay might have returned it back by now.
Be careful with this. I do have Verizon unlimited, but it will only let me use 20 GB of mobile hotspot. And from what I read about PS Remote Play, the standard mode will use about 2.5 GB per hour.
You're testing single player modes on the games. How is multiplayer mode for games that are 60hz? (I know games like cod and GTA will have poor online gaming)
Great question Heretic! With single player games being playable but not silky smooth over 4G/5G, I think any multiplayer games esp competitive like COD or Helldivers 2 over 4G/5G will be a pretty rough experience unless any viewers think otherwise? 🤔
I appreciate you for this it help me to be able to play my ps portal way more and at work it's working very good

Have you not seen the size of a ps5? @@KingLouieXD
Just glue a tablet onto your ps5. Then glue that onto a gas generator. Then glue all that onto a controller. Done
Anyone else distracted by the dusty screen?
What can I say, the Portal erm picks up dust easily 🤷😂
What are YOUR thoughts and experiences of Mobile Hotspots on the PlayStation Portal? Explain below! 👇
Is good but i still dont get it how to connect to my hotspot because im not an iphone user and all tutorial is only for iphone
Did you say to protect the "Ally" when you were testing the case?😅😅
I did that with my gcloud and rog ally tethered to my phone with 5G and connection is better than wireless
Have you tried online gaming with the rog ally off of a 5g hotspot from a phone? I want to pick up the rog ally for cod mw3 since I’m a trucker but idk if 5g from my iPhone will cut it

Chippy's here in the uk cook puddings by steaming them, which is why they don't looked cooked lol
Hi I can connect at home with same wifi on ps5 and portal but wen I go out I cant connect my portal I use my phone and wifi 5g both didnt connect
When your buttons wouldnt work, did you use remote play moboile app just before that?
Hey Jeff, remote play just launched when connection occurs and just glitched out then the buttons didn't work 👍
In Amazon you will find the case and a silicone protector for $26.00
Thanks Angel!
You’re welcome
Mines still not connecting to my mobile hotspot. How can I fix this?
Same
Hey Rockstar, check out my latest vid on this:

Mobile hotspot seems very ‘hit and miss’, I think a lot has to do with location and having a very strong signal 🤷
What mobile network do you use please 🙏
Mate, how was your experience on 5G playing EA FC ?
Is online mode somehow working?
Hey Johnny, I didn’t try playing online but FC 24 is definitely playable on 5G!
Walmart has a PS portal case
I use an oven mitt as a protector
Wow great idea!!
2 questions,
Which T-Mobile plan do you have?
&
Do you recommend mobile hotspot or buy a separate hotspot device?
This would only make sense if you have unlimited data plan
True wolf! I forgot to mention in the vid I have unlimited data on my plan otherwise yes this could be very expensive lol
Who doesn’t have unlimited data
@@Jimmysky1lots of people mate. I do but 4G . I'm not sure if this will work well.
@@Jimmysky1 developing countries.
@@Jimmysky1 I think a lot of people. There is a difference with unlimited data and unlimited hot spot. A lot of plans cap the amount of hot spot you ger
Hi Pete, is your connection using NAT2 or NAT3 ? My mobile HotSpot always provides NAT3 and with NAT3 Portal seems not to work?
Hey JM, apologies for delay in replying - I use NAT 2 which DOES seem to work as shown in vid 👍
Have you found a fix??? I’m struggling with NAT 3 issues I believe as well.
I’m struggling too. Can’t find a fix at all.
how can i check my NAT type
@@PeteTalksTech hi mate, what network are you on? thanks
is ur hotspot 2.4ghz or 5ghz？

Wow that’s FAST!!!
what’s your provider and where are you located?
@@irechrismacua4439 I have Verizon Fios 1 GB plan in the US for home. Tmobile for cell.
@irechrismacua4439 I'm in the United States VA more specifically. Mobile is through T-Mobile/Sprint. Home is Verizon Gigabit Fios package.
Can your ps5 at home be on rest mode to do this or does it need to be on all the way?
Hey Ricky, yes PS5 just needs to be on rest mode at all times to remote play whenever we want 👍
Seems only for 14 pro max won’t connect I can connect to a 13 with no issues though not sure if it’s cause I have the beta on my phone or what
That’s weird Eagles - it’s the 14 Pro Max I’m using here in this vid that works pretty great! I’m on the NAT 2 setting which may make a difference…
does it works at home if u connect PlayStation 5 and PlayStation portal to.the same mobile hotspot 5g?
Great question! I haven’t tried this, but I’d imagine even though it will prob work performance won’t be optimal eg there will be lag as PS5 console really DOES need to be connected to router via Ethernet - but can any viewers help? 🤔

Have you figure a way. I have T-Mobile 5g hotspot. It connects to the net but does not connect to portal if that makes sense

@@PeteTalksTech well thats bad :D thanks a lot
I fixed it- to connect your phone using hotspot connect using usb-c from phone to psp.

Im doing the same steps and it won’t connect to my iPhone
Same hope we get a fix soon
Does work T-Mobile
how much data do you lost for one hour play the sipderman?Ty
Short answer: a lot! You kind of need to be on an unlimited mobile data plan if you want to do 4G/5G to the Portal 👍
I have 14 pro max n it won’t work but no prob when connect to an iPhone 13 or galaxy phone
What network are you using?
The problem is not the portal, it is your internet connection. If you have good internet , you can take your portal outside any where.
Nope 1000mbps and it still lags and it straight refuses to connect to my iPhone hotspot that gets a little over 328mbps
Mine only works on my iphone 13 and doesn't works on my android phone. Any ideas?
Hey Jassi, I've seen a few comments on this vid of iPhones working but not Android phones - any viewers have any idea why? 🤔
Hey Pete mine doesn’t seem to be working my hotspot just won’t connect to my psp

@@PeteTalksTech I have an iPhone 15
Ah, could be poor network reception perhaps? Did you manage to follow the exact steps in the vid to set up connection between the Portal and you iPhone 15?
Why is mine not working when the ps5 is in off mode?
The Portal only works when the PS5 is in Sleep Mode 👍
I imagine this will just trip data though, yikes!
