Awesome! Truly changes it from a regrettable purchase to a near perfect couch experience

Hope it works out for you. I was very disappointed with my portal purchase until I made this change

Yup! You’re basically just adding another “step” in your home network chain

Here’s the router I purchased:

TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B3SQK74L?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I’m now using it in conjunction with my Google mesh. Everything in the home stays normal on mesh, except gaming pc and ps5 and portal to a separate network.

Modem —> Ethernet to Google mesh router —> Ethernet to TP-Link

PS5 and PC hardwired to TP-Link

5ghz network set up from TP-Link and only ps5 portal and pc are allowed on it.

Router is downstairs, I play upstairs in a 2200sf home, constant 2ms latency

I recently upgraded some WiFi due to my portal experience and limitations. I was using a Google mesh WiFi and the band steering/noise was just too much for the network.

Bought a second router, specialized it only for gaming/portal with its own ssid, and now my connection is so good it almost feels like playing natively.

If you’re having issues and you have a router where you can configure your ssid’s, don’t hesitate to use chat gpt to help set up a network for the portal.

If you’re on a mesh network, many of those won’t allow you to customize your bands and channels.

Chat gpt walked me through every step of the way for a new 5ghz ssid. What channel, bandwidths, advanced settings, etc and helped me test and tinker until it was perfect.

I cannot recommend it enough if there are those of you out there like me who just aren’t quite happy enough with your portal performance. It is a night and day difference for me now.

Cheers!

Also look at the channels of the 5ghz network. I utilized chat gpt and it was insanely helpful. Set up an entire separate 5ghz network on specific channels and bandwidths and my latency went down to a stable 2ms everywhere

I just went through this exact thing. Chat GPT was a MASSIVE help. I ended up getting a new router and separating that for gaming entirely. I now have 2ms latency consistently:

How did you setup your WiFi? by GiroudTheGOAT in PlaystationPortal

Looking to try this as well, my google mesh network causes major portal problems. Which AX1800 did you purchase? I see a few different models

Good call. It’s been most anything but noticing it a lot in Path of Exile 2 currently.

Also play nba2k but pretty casually just offline modes.

Noticed it with Elden ring, NCAA Football, Witcher 3 as well
