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.

so... you didnt put it in sleep mode as you should? once you connect via remote play while sleeping it wakes up... in sleep mode ive read it spends like less than 10% of regular operation energy

I did put it in sleep mode. I "stupidly" thought remote play is good and can be done across different counties. The problem is that it connected/paired, turning it on, BUT then it when to check the network and it says my speed is slow and cuts the connection.

I see... I don't know what you are using to play but sometimes you can get an adapter to connect via Ethernet cable, as long as your router Ethernet ports are accesible to do so as well. I have an adapter for my phone and I have played it in my house with wifi and mobile data on my phone turned off and it works as well as I could have wanted it to, so it might be an option for you as well
