    It's not internet speed (At least at home), is more about your wifi connection, so your router and the distance you are from it. Even with a 15mbps connection it can work fine.

    So essentially this is mirroring your ps5. So you need internet for ps5 and portal. As far as the TV goes. If you are away from home depending on your TV it may turn it on. But it doesn't have to be on but the ps5 will need to be on for the portal to access it. If that make sense? Hopefully I answered your question.

    Me give you a honest review on the PlayStation portal when it first came out picked one up. It worked terrible. If you did have one when it first came out you would know this after the latest update that just came out a little while back before the new year, the PlayStation portal works awesome now even if you had good Internet before the PlayStation portal did not work at all it was just bad but I do have to say after this new update I’m having a blast on it Two major problems still touchscreen still is terrible for the controller part. Second thing that is a major problem is trying to turn on your system when it’s in sleep mode. Sometimes it works most of the time it does not. I have to literally go in there and turn it on myself .

But I mean hey the portal is streaming to the ps5 and the ps5 is streaming to the internet so I mean hoe fast can this thing even be But I mean it is what it is, for the most part it's a good handheld when I'm playing anything normal like spiderman etc.

    I bought it and it worked fine at home. Decided not to test further and just go to my parent's. It didn't wake up the ps5 at all even tho it's in rest code 😂. Seems the issue with me is having set up a password and the ps portal doesn't have the UI options to select profile and enter password. Truly baffling lack of effort by Sony.

    Yea I have experience this once before. Yea the only solution to this is just making sure before you leave your ps5 you are log into your account and than put it in rest mode. I think along as it hasn't been turned off it shouldn't boot you all the way back to having to log back in.

    Yep I understand but the portal game is lagging because it is mirroring to the ps5. And the ps5 is streaming internet. It's almost no way to stop that form of lag. However if the game was stored on the portal it would be streaming directly from the portal like a ps5. The reason I said put maybe 200 g of storage. But sony probably didn't want to go that way cause people would have than hacked the portal and basically made it a fully functional ps5 handheld without the system.

    It doesn’t matter if it has onboard storage. Give it 100TB it will still not play any game locally. That Snapdragon is not up to the task, and neither is any other component, and it’s not supposed to be. This is a streaming device pure and simple. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad device, I love mine, it was just never designed to run games locally.

If you have your PlayStation in sleep mode 90% of the time it does not wanna work it does not turn it on literally have to walk in the other room and turn it on and it literally always takes usually 2 to 3 minutes for it to turn on the system if it does want to turn on the system in the first place, so no it’s not fast it’s majorly slow and that’s if it works or not
