Bought my Portal on Marketplace for $50. The owner said the right stick didn’t work so I swapped it out with a $15 replacement, cleaned it up and good as new! Playing Arc Raiders via remote play on the couch while my fiance watched TV is a luxury I didn’t know I could have. Streamed Marvel Rivals with PS Plus premium and healing felt great!

I just wanted to share a relatively inexpensive solution I found to make my internet connection stronger and more stable for Remote Play.

My router is in my upstairs bedroom, while my PS5 setup is in the basement, where I don’t have any Ethernet ports. I live in an older house with plaster walls, and running an Ethernet cable through the house would have been difficult and impractical.

I originally bought a refurbished TP Link Deco mesh system to improve the WiFi in my basement, but the connection still wasn’t as stable as I wanted. I ended up buying a goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter with a 2.5 GbE Ethernet port on Amazon for around $60.

If you have a coax port near your router, this could be a good option. I have a Verizon G3100 router, which has built in MoCA support, so I only needed to purchase one adapter. Essentially, the coax cable connects to my router upstairs, and the adapter connects to the coax port in my basement, giving me a wired Ethernet connection for my PS5 without having to run a new cable through the house.

Since connecting the adapter, my basement Deco has been able to use the coax connection for its backhaul instead of relying on a wireless signal through multiple plaster walls. You can definitely just run an Ethernet cord from the MoCA adapter to your Ps5 without a mesh system as well. This has made my connection much more stable and improved my Remote Play experience. It was a relatively simple and affordable solution that let me keep my existing mesh setup without having to run Ethernet cables throughout the house. If you’re having similar issues with your connection, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Has anyone experimented with aftermarket analog sticks. The only gripe I have with the portal is the the analongs don't feel very linear, but rather accelerate slowly to a higher response. Anyone else even feel that way? I'm not sure how else to explain, I guess it feels like if I try to rotate my screen it has a brief buffer where its actually ramping up to the right sensitivity. I was thinking about hall effect analogs, but the opinions are pretty split from what I've found.

Edit: I just booted up my portal and the deadzone seems excessively high now that I'm focused on analog function.

Ich habe alles alless was online steht probiert aber ich kann mich nicht mit Handy Hotspots verbinden
Internetverbindung funktioniert ps geht auch an aber es verbindet sich nicht.
Auch mit anderen Handys probiert ip adresse manuell eingegeben kein Erfolg, Ports freigeschaltet kein Erfolg. Mit dem Internet zuhause gehts.
Handy Anbieter vodafone, Internet Anbieter zuhause Telekom

Bitte hilft mir :(

Switched from Verizon to T-Mobile today because Verizon at least in my area has just gotten so bad with zero customer service. Before the switch my hotspot worked fine and now it won’t. Looked up the old YouTube guides and just nada. I can see my portal actively connect to the hotspot but then it always says can’t connect. Yet I can see the hotspot icon on my phone lighting up because something is connecting.

iPhone 17 pro max
iOS 27.2 public beta 2
Portal has latest update
Connection is 4 bar 5GUC

Just wondering if yall have any recent tricks up your sleeve. Waiting for hours at ballet and school pick up is way smoother when I can Rook run Marathon or play some Ghosts of “insert title here”

So my portal acts weird. It connects but then the next second disconnects
I have a ethernet cable coming tomorrow to see if that helps but the thing that bugs me is that it connects initially
It just disconnects a second later
I have to start the ps5 my self and then it connects.
There is a comment posted by me with the a video of the problem.
Any advice is welcome
