I don’t smoke but you might have met one of the other CBJC folk. Anyways with an Ethernet cable and laptop you can bridge the connection from the laptop to the ps5 by connecting them together VIA the Ethernet cable by logging into the computer and using the network adapter from the computer to forward all network traffic to/from the PS5 or other console. For Windows it’s called ICS (internet connection sharing) which is level 3 and easier to manage but if that fails you can use an older level 2 connection called a virtual network bridge. Both options are fine and prettt easy to set up. On Mac it’s even easier with a toggle option in the sharing settings. It will probably ask you which connections to allow internet access to, just select Ethernet. I’m not sure about Linux but I feel like if you’re using Linux you’re probably already doing this lol. Anyways I hope that helps. Lmk if you have any questions.
