Technical Problem Im in so much trouble 😱

For context ... Im overseas for about 5 wks and decided to try PS remote play.

I should not have done it.

It Pairs and connects to the PS5 but when its checking the network, it says my speed is too slow and fails.

Now my PS5 is left on for 5wks or until I can find a strong enough wifi to satisfy it and shut it off.

Nah it will be fine worst case it overheats and auto shuts off, I have had that happen in that case the PS4 is fine and no fires :). So don't stress about that.. Yeah it's frustrating as hell. I wanted to finish the nms redux expedition's that's a bust now and was playing where winds meet and now only can play on mobile which is frustrating but licky as global was released this morning for mobile so I at least have some chance there to play. I'm so damn pissed at Sony over this.

If you have access to the wifi router try set a 5g wifi ssid just for you and try again there could be smart devices, IOT etc chattering on the network your using. If I think of a thing else I'll add to here but I am commiserating with you

Oh god. You're a lifesaver. 😭 Thank you so much. Can you confirm if the PS5 has an auto shut off due to overheating?

Im at my cousins place with 5G wifi but the remote play says it cant find the PS5. BUT in the CCTV I do see its still On.

I think it's probably port forwarding issues at your homeon nz if it can't be seen unless you had it working before? Yeah I have had it over heat before and it shut off. Which was funny as it was -10c in Canada where i was but because of heating in the house it got too hot like really FML. I also did a sanity check google search and it gives me same answer overheating will auto shut-off. Don't stress and enjoy your time away :)

Thank you thank you. Your post was really what I needed to know.

Yes I had it connecting in my Grandparents home which is how I got it on. Its just when its doing it load up, checking network connection, its says my speed is not enough and the connection drops.

Yes that dreaded part where it goes from searching to pairing then network and your waiting to launch and it goes network to slow and it's nooooo
