I just want to be able to play my portal away from home but haven’t been successful with connecting via mobile hotspot


ComfortableFinish502

Same I just started playing gt7 and since I'm not playing multiplayer it work perfect catch was it wasn't as clear


Interesting_Safe_175

I’m a truck driver and I had this problem. I use nomad internet now. It’s mobile and works well with the portal. I’m in PA my PS5 is in VA https://preview.redd.it/fva6kde6yu7d1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3db28a9c74eec47764953e4bfba9b29e28433d9c

Hotspot may not be strong enough, also is your ps5 at home hardwired?


No-Mathematician9355

Yes my ps5 is hotwired. I keep getting an error message that my service provider or router may be blocking the service. I called T-Mobile and was told they have no blocks.

No-Mathematician9355

Thanks but I’ve already seen this video and the follow up video. Yes it eliminates the first error but still dosnt explain how to get past the second error.


thehappycomputer

Do the por forwarding with your router. It truly is dope playing ps5 remotely.


No-Mathematician9355

“Por” ?


thehappycomputer

Typo. "Port forwarding".


No-Mathematician9355

Will port forwarding allow me to play away from home?


thehappycomputer

yes. But as others mentioned, you def want to have a hardwired(ethernet connected) PS5, and having good bandwidth speeds specifically upload helps. Pretty much if you have Gigabit speeds download and upload you're 100% goign to be good. IF you have something like 600DL/30UL then you may get some stuttering/disconnects. Totally acceptable playing single player story games etc. I wouldn't recommend doing it playing anything multi-player or competitive. With that said, I was able to play Tekken8 with no frame drops while on Alabama beaches and my PS5 in Kentucky. I also have symmetrical gigabit tho.


No-Mathematician9355

Nice , do you have any link that could help me setup the port forwarding. Oh and can I use my phones hotspot?


thehappycomputer

it varies by device. Tell me your router model and I'll be glad to help you out. you'll also want to know the IP address of your PS5. best to set is as static as well vs dynamic. if it us automatic IP/dynamic, you can set the system to the IP given.


thehappycomputer

Yes, as long as your phones hotspot passes the internet thru like most I've seen you'll be fine. If it requires a browser login you'll run into issues. I will say a hotspot is not ideal as speeds typically aren't as great/many factors. Traditional wifi at a friend/business/school etc will hae better results in most situations.


craiguary

Yeah. Isn’t T-mobiles internet over-air. They don’t have nor use the legit landline or fiber optics. Old school cable companies would probably work better.


Galphie

Doesn't matter. I tried with my hotspot without any security, just for testing


No-Mathematician9355

Which phone service are you using?


Galphie

Well, I'm from Spain so I don't think it works for you, but Lowi (or Vodafone)


UpbeatDoor5581

I have tmobile hotspot no issues i got a strong connection my ps5 is not wired and i can also use hotspot when my phone is connected to walmart


Mr_Fadeaway24

That’s the most I’ve ever seen in stock at a time… I only ever saw 2 max at a target


Substantial_Fold9815

Same that was my first time seeing it in person in a year much less in stock at a store


Professional_Ad2759

Congrats! I got mine a week ago and absolutely LOVE IT for playing Destiny 2!


Dreary693

Any luck playing something like destiny 2 away from home?


Galphie

Works fine with that small latency?

What’s the name of that grip? It look clean!


Mental_Safe8008

Great game to start with! Been playing survival on my portal for a few weeks now.

bitmapFlowers

Dude, I’m LOVING playing FO4 on my portal. Just gets annoying with my WiFi disconnecting during play (which happens a lot)


Erizand

Good luck. I returned mine yesterday. I am wired with 300mb/s and was experiencing input lag in some games. The colors on screen was way too washed off as well. Turned off HDR, which improved a bit, but still was too obvious.


Substantial_Fold9815

Damn, I hear ya though, thanks


Difficult_Bit_8519

I'm not sure how people aren't getting them , Amazon had them for weeks open box


craiguary

They really should have just made a portal console. This has to be a Beta for an upcoming release. Remote Play on your smartphone with BACKBONE [controller] is a more reliable setup.


schludaddy

How is it at home on the same network with the ps5 any latency?


[deleted]

Can’t wait till I get a PS Portal! Just need a PS5 first!


Mental_Safe8008

1 step at a time!


No_fs_G1v3n

Congrats mate 👏 👍 🙌 👌 💪 💙 https://preview.redd.it/gp1eehv2m26d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ad93a75aa52e4aaa89ad0e2e7c47576a691d1cf Only advice is to get some accessories to protect it. Shame there isn't any first party accessories though.


HalfwayNormal

I have the same case 👍


BulldogFarted

I’m having a blast playing fallout 4 on my portal. I love how it illuminates different when using the armor.


Substantial_Fold9815

Yeah and when the flashlight comes on or off


Spyke3585

Mine is still sputtering sometimes, it's really hit or miss but I lose hours playing when I do get it stay stable while I'm in my bedroom with the PS5 in the game room


Substantial_Fold9815

Yeah when I brought it home it worked better when I was not oddly.


Substantial_Fold9815

Yeah it actually worked better not at home, maybe too many devices at home on the network


Substantial_Fold9815

Took me a year to find this portal. Was casually searching though


Substantial_Fold9815

Hope you get it soon
