Copying text from another post:
The Portal is a day one purchase for me. Sure, it’s niche, but I often get kicked off the PS5 so my SO can watch TV, so this will be a godsend so I can keep playing. I do use the Remote Play app, but I find it often lags or almost loses connection too much, and the latency can sometimes be bad, even with our 400mbps internet connection. Hopefully with Sony engineering behind it, it will be more reliable connection-wise than Remote Play, and I’m excited to be able to jump straight in without having to mess around with opening apps and connecting or pairing controllers.
Thanks for the advice - we do have a mesh network already, but I can’t hardwire the console due to the distance from the router (same room, but opposite sides). Ping is usually single digits, but I’ve still found even with a small number, latency can be a bit hit-or-miss. I’ve tried configuring settings to make things smoother, and I seem to have found some kind of sweet spot where drop-outs are less frequent, but there’s still times where it just refuses to work properly. Or even at all sometimes. I’ve seen in some preview videos that the Portal uses a “better” version of Remote Play due to how it’s been made, which swayed me in my decision to get it. With what you’ve said though, I may hold off until reviews come out before taking the plunge. Thanks again for your tips.
Do you have a wifi 6 router? It improved my local streaming dramatically when I upgraded. No more issues even streaming high bitrate vr.
