I use Remote Play regularly (bed-bound lots due to medical issues) and never had a problem, but have found it’s finicky on your setup. Eg it never really worked on my ISP-provided modem/router but once I got a UDM (for unrelated reasons) it worked flawlessly and has ever since.
The fact I can lie in bed with laptop plugged into bedroom TV and use a PS4 controller to play games running on my gaming PC in another room is truly awesome.
- technobabbler 5y agoWhat is a UDM? And I believe you. I wish I knew what the variables were. I really wanted to like Remote Play and even got special hardware for it (Steam Link, Shield TV, etc.) and still couldn't get it to be reliable.
- alphager 5y agoUnifi Dream Machine, a prosumer router/wifi AP combo.
- technobabbler 5y agoRoger that, will have to check it out!
- sen 5y agoYeah as alphager said, it’s a router by Ubiquiti that solved a lot of my networking issues. I wish I knew what exactly it was that made Remote Play work, but that was just one of the many things that didn’t work before then I realised later suddenly worked with my new router.
- technobabbler 5y agoCool, thanks for the tip! I've been having nonstop issues with my Google Router and ISP modem, will have to try that instead.
