Taking your PlayStation along with you on vacation is essential, especially if the hotel has a TV! Unfortunately, not all WiFi connections or Hotspots work the way we need them to whenever we’re at a hotel, and that can be so incredibly frustrating when you want to fit in a gaming session. However, there is a way to get the best possible gaming experience the next time you’re in a hotel. The rest of this article is going to teach you how to connect a PS4 / PS5 to hotel wifi.
How to Connect to Hotel WiFi on Your PS4/PS5
Most hotel WiFi requires you to go to your computer’s browser and go to a website to fill out information pertaining to your hotel room number and the like. However, you can’t really do that easily on a PlayStation. However, following these instructions will put you right on track:
- Connect to your hotel’s WiFi by going to your console’s Settings, Network, Set Up, and Internet Connection.
- In the WiFi options, select the hotel’s.
- Because you will likely need to go to another page to authenticate the WiFi, it will fail to connect.
- Open the authentication page by going to Settings, Network, Connection Status, and View Connection Status.
- Your PlayStation’s browser should open up to the verification page at that point.
- Log in as you would normally on a computer and enjoy your internet connection.
There will likely be some connection issues when it comes to online play, just because of the instability of the connection and the various other hotel-goers likely using it, but it’s perfect for the smaller, online obstacles that some games pose. It is important to note that intensive online games will likely not work at all just because of the sheer internet power needed. And that’s how to connect a PS4 / PS5 to hotel wifi!
