I travel often for work and recently bought a PS5. It’s to my understanding the Portal only works on your local network. Is it possible to connect via a VPN if I’m on the road for work?
On that same note, for those that have set this up, what sort of connection quality are you getting? Any input lag or severe frame rate drops?
You can also download remote play to your phone or computer and get the same functionality as the portal
Away from home the portal will work on WiFi that is NAT Type 2, NAT Type 1, or OPEN NAT. If the WiFi you connect the portal to says NAT 3, then it won’t work. Spent all of yesterday learning this.
If there is a wifi or your phones hotspot the Portal will work. What you said about that Portal only works on your local network is not true.
The portal works on any sufficiently robust wifi network away from home (that doesn’t require a web login unless you use a travel router).
No VPN needed.
How do u check this and possibly change it
U check by connecting to a WiFi network with the portal. And In the WiFi settings there’s an option that says NAT Type. Select it and it will tell u which NAT Type the WiFi is. Idk how to change it
What NAT type did it end up being?
Did you get it to work away from home?
