Everything in this video is what you’ll need to get the max/best experience on the portal. I researched everything and basically everything he shows you here is what I found works best- if you are not satisfied after that then the portal is not for you. I love this thing!
I never had issues with lag but I did notice some blurryness to the image quality. I reduced the screen output to 1080p and turned 120 hz off and the picture is super crisp now.
Probably people already know this but most users say that if you turn off weka up screen option in the settings or just disconnect the ps5 from the monitor or tv altogether, the streaming will improve. I didn’t test that yet because I’m waiting for my PS portal to arrive next week
@@Daniel97926 I did. honestly for me was unplayable. ive tried H:FW an TLOU part 1 and there was to much lag even with all the optimization I could find on reddit and such. also I have a pretty stable 1gb FTTH
@@Daniel97926 sorry I'm late. I did test it. you can see my comment above. Long story short I refund it. it really doesn't work, at lest for my standards of gaming
I have my ps5 hard wired. 900 down, 200 up, 5Ghz and my ps5 is in the same room as me yet I can’t play more than 10 minutes without it lagging. It’s ridiculous. How does it work for people with slower WiFi
You most likely live in area with lots of neighbors with wifi routers. You need to check which channel is least occupied. Then you need to adjust if you need to change beacon interval or RTS. Your router setting need to be adjusted. My PS portal has 1 ms response speed, basically 0 delay. It is fast enough to play rhythm games
How was it, any improvement? I bought mine last week and has been having fun playing it at home and at work. I did encounter an issue at work, i sometimes can't detect 5ghz wifi or hotspot and can only connect to 2.4ghz. I thought it was a hardware issue, but when i was in transit back home, it suddenly connected ro my phones hotspot (which is 5ghz), even at home i was able to connect on my wifi 5ghz no problem.
Here a tip, if you often get freezes/studders on the Portal. Go to your Network setup name on PS5, press options on it and switch your mtu to manual. Then lower it slightly from 1473 from the default 1500. You get less data drops, which means less freezes and audio cuts. It makes the experience practically FLAWLESS... 😎👍
Thanks bro i almost sell my portal coz of lag issues, ps5 not wired btw i only changed the video output to 1080 and disabled 120hz it is now smooth as butter
@@EnaTenkiyoGamer lol you are literally protecting a company that released a broken item. i bought my portal 2 month ago and i can't use it in fast paced games. my wifi is good for quest 3 pcvr gaming, but not ps portal 1080p60hz?
5ghz is worse than 2.4ghz if reception is whats causing the latency. Throughput doesn't matter because 2.4ghz has enough bandwidth to stream 1080p at 60fps. 5ghz is better if ps portal is being played near router, but if there are doors or walls in between, 2.4 ghz is better. Most people don't understand how routers work.
i can play wireless pc vr with my quest 3 in the same place i try with my portal. in 2.4ghz and 5ghz its unplayble on my portal, but runs amazing on my quest 3.
@adi22121 you need to change your router setting. You probably have 20/40 MHz channel width set. Manually set it to only use 40MHz channel, also, disable 802.11b. You also should change DTIM interval to 1 and RTS to about 500 or 600
But if I change all these settings I am doing it on my PS5 right? When I go back to TV mode, then I would have to switch everything again. This is stupid
Yeah, I get it. Like some people have said it would be great if the console had a "portal mode" that would do all of that when you connected to it and reverted when you disconnected. It looks like Sony is adding features with the updates so maybe that's something they can add in future
@@Orzly Thank you for confirmation kind sir. Sometimes I am too tired to turn ON the tv and would just want to sit somewhere else and play, but I am not changing settings for my OLED tv just to do this. I guess we will se with future updates. Thanks once more
Thing I’ll say is …. Ignore the advice that 15 mbs is enough to run this thing. Mine is 70mbs and that’s the fastest I can get where I live and that’s slow as far as I’m concerned. No way will you get a usable experience at 15 mbs you got no chance.
Lol i feel like the 60fps is not working :( planning to sell mine. Man i miss 60 fps on gaming, planning to buy monitor. Since i cant use the portal outside :(
Lowering the resolution on your console makes no difference to the portal when you're using remote Play it's streaming at 1080p regardless of your resolution it also doesn't matter if you use performance or quality on the games you're playing The only thing that matters is your internet connection
Thanks for de video just one question , after lowering the resolution on the ps5 to 1080p and deactivating the 120hz mode should be activated again when playing on the TV?
i bought a ps portal yesterday and i either get the error something went wrong or someone else is connected to remote play. when i do connect i lose connection
Mine just lags back I have no issues pc gaming or ps5 gaming just with the ps portal Lmaoo it’s trash tbh glad I didn’t waste the money and it was a gift
Mine lags even with the Ethernet connected to the ps5. There have been a FEW times where 2K played FLAWLESSLY ….i have no idea why it works like 50% of the time.
I never had any issues right out the box and I used it the most of the time away from home. I hadn’t used it in about a month and yesterday it seemed to not connect well. Could it be the firmware update you were talking about? I haven’t done anything differently. I still have Ethernet connected and use my mobile unlimited hotspot as before
Hmm, that's a strange one. For me, the updates have been an improvement. Could your home network have been congested? Like if someone was downloading something or watching Netflix

1080 and 120 setting fixed a lot of that blurry mess like you said thanks!
I never had issues with lag but I did notice some blurryness to the image quality. I reduced the screen output to 1080p and turned 120 hz off and the picture is super crisp now.
And when you play on the tv you have to turn both back again?
@@Juanchogamer5000 yea

Thankyou so much, did everything you said, now it runs perfectly. I was ready to smash this thing lol.

No problem 👍

Let us know how it goes!
@@Orzly yeah my portal is pretty much flawless now , solid 60fps 1080p. But I upgraded my router to a gaming one. The Asus tuf AX3000
thanks bro, I think it's helpful
Great video and THANK YOU for not telling me to like/sub in the first 20 secs ..I hate that so much haha!

You absolute legend. Thanks so much for this video you helped me fix my issues. Thank you so much I'm absolutely loving my portal!!!
Glad I could help
I love this is just one giant commercial
Sony need to have a setting we can turn on, which optimises the portal. Like changing output to 1080p and setting the correct frame rate.
Or an automatic “portal mode “ that does just that when it detects remote play
Thanks but I'm not messing around with my display settings everytime I want to play on the TV. Think I'm returning after 1 day

Turn off your hdmi in the settings
Love my portal. Some issues. Not a deal breaker

It’s back to work well again. Now I have a better modem
Mines a mess and I got my PS5 wired, Orbi satellites for WiFi, my downloads are super quick but this device is a mess!
Mesh routers add a lot of latency
I also make use of Orbi with satelites. I used ethernet and connected directly the ps5 to satelite. Played without problems.
Musics too loud
How can you turn your ps5 off instead of it being on?
You can't. It only works if the ps5 is on.
@@scythejd ahhh okay thank you
It has to be at least in stand by mode. Or you can manually switch it on everytime you want to play with your portal
Man Fck that I’m selling mine
Rooter? Lol
Top comment plz 😂😂❤😢🎉😅😊
You are at the bottom ahaha no where near the top loser
