It's really a case-by-case issue. Ive had a great time with my portal. Im lucky to have really good internet, and when ive taken it to my friends home, they have great internet and it works as in intended. 1080p 60fps everytime. It is a shame that it a streaming machine, but it works for me so much. The portal really got me back into gaming again.

@supermale Ай бұрын
@SteveDavies80 I wouldn't say that 2.4ghz is slow and laggy. Maybe just for ur situation. I know tons of people that still prefer 2.4ghz , just because of the better penetrating coverage.
@SteveDavies80 Ай бұрын
@@supermale nah, Im a broadband technician visit about 5 customers each day with wifi issues. 2.4ghz is an unmanaged frequency that is not regulated. Anyone can make a product that uses that frequency which will interfere with WiFi. Baby monitors, doorbells, kids toys etc, and those interference can come from over 100 meters, so any of your neighbours. Yes it goes further than 5ghz, but the vast majority of people get more stable connection with 1 bar signal on 5ghz signal, compared to 4 bars on a 2.4ghz. And even in the same room as hub, most homes will not get more than 50mbps via a 2.4ghz connection. Obviously, some people will be an exception, if they happen to be in a home with minimal interference, thin walls and less wifi obstacles.

I personally use the ps remote app and use the PlayStation gaming pad that I picked up for about $70. Yeah, the controller isn’t as good as a dual sense on the portal, by my phone’s display is much better than the portal’s. And I can stream my ps 5 with little to no issues on my phone’s 5G cell service.

"Get a new router" no, just get a mesh thing like TP Link offers and have them plugged in. I stream games from my main PC to my Macbook or phone and it extremely usable. Looks and feels great. Your router sits where the cables enter your home, build your network around that to ensure really good connectivity. It's not that expensive these days, and if your ISP provided modem/router supports 1 Gbps/1 gigabit ports, you don't need to buy a more expensive router but some less expensive mesh hardware.

Yes, it takes a little longer to connect and wake up my p. S5, then me being at home, but it really Doesn't have any hiccups when connecting?

The portal is for a specific kind of person. I love it. I’m connected Ethernet with Wi-Fi 6e mesh routers and rarely have issues. Fighting Adam Smasher on cyberpunk is the only time it started acting up and who knows if it was just the game glitching lol. In my opinion it’s best for grinding type games where you can just relax and level up.

I use it on the bed at home connected to a hardwired mesh router. Flawless connection and speed. Outside, it’s tethered to my phone data service. Not as good as a home set up, but enough to play action games like stellar blade. So IMO, it delivers on its intended use, and then some.

"PS5 connected via wifi" that right there likely explains your stability issues. Two Wifi hops for game streaming just doubles your chances of the odd wifi hickup / interference which could come from anywhere. Heck a city bus passing by could make you drop. As for competitive shooters, I perform better in matches in XDefiant while using Portal. It's very doable.
@MadaoAU 14 күн бұрын
When you are on local network, streaming doesn’t use your upload speed. It uses the local network. So your console speaks to the modem and the modem speaks to the ps portal. You probably will get better results if the ps5 is at least hard wired to the Ethernet for no dropped packets. Either way it can be unstable even when it’s like that from my experience. Even PSVita their last handheld had the capability to connect with a mobile carrier.

You cant use this far away from your PS5. The PS Portal is just a screen streaming device, if that makes sense to you? you need your PS5 to be on as your are accessing your PS5s content Via your PS Portal screen to play your games. For example if your PS5 is off, the PS Portal is useless. The wifi connection is only so many meters long before you get to far and the signal cuts off. Say you went on holiday somewhere, you need to bring your PS5, have it switched on and connected to the internet to use your PS Portal.
