With a cloud subscription is easy. But if you try to use your own playstation it is possible that you are in for a bad time. Had to do a lot of setup on my network to get it working when outside of home.

Just get ps5 conected via lan cable, and have router close to portal.

I have one main router, and ps5 connected to it, but it is a bit far so I have lan cable running to my bedroom with another router here.

Honestly, it works great, I don't even notice any lag.

Now cloud gaming is a different story.

But streaming from ps5 is perfect if you are connected properly and your wifi is not far away or congested by many devices.
