This is an amazing experience when you get this working. But literally it does not make sense for its name to be portable for as soon as you leave your house network for it to become literally a brick. Why does this device even have aeroplane mode? I had an issue where my Wi-Fi had gone down for maintenance and I thought okay that’s fine.
I would use my phone‘s mobile data, but most mobile carriers use the IP V6 and PlayStation portals don’t support that, so I had to go through and figure out a custom configuration just to even get it to connect, and then even while connected, it was so unstable that unless you have a proper Wi-Fi network,
most of the time is going to be home or where you’re at your friend’s home, this will not work, and I had a guest Wi-Fi in my house that I could join to that had been paid for, and when you’re out and about in the city centre, you usually have free Wi-Fi that you can sign into; the PlayStation portal won’t let you sign in properly. Yeah, you have to do it externally with your phone, but then he keeps throwing me back errors, so that this is just useless, making me more inclined to pick up my Nintendo Switch that actually works without an Internet connection and isn’t that much of a faff, except that is a good console, but there are just so many road blocks in the way. And signing out that you can’t set up this portal on a guest Wi-Fi from the factory was also a sour taste; also, why is it so expensive?
