When you find yourself in a hotel room with your brand-new Playstation 5, the first thing on your mind may be how to connect it to the hotel’s wifi. With the PS5’s advanced technology, getting online to play your favorite games or watch streaming services is a breeze.
Step 1: Accessing Network Settings
The initial step in connecting your PS5 to hotel wifi involves navigating to the network settings on your console. To do this, start by pressing the Playstation button on your controller to access the main menu. From there, scroll down and select “Settings.”
Step 2: Setting Up Internet Connection
Once you’re in the settings menu, locate the option for setting up an internet connection. This is where you’ll be able to choose the network you want to connect to, in this case, the hotel’s wifi. Select “Setup Internet Connection” to proceed.
Step 3: Scanning for Networks
After selecting to set up the internet connection, you’ll be prompted to scan for available networks. Press the Triangle button on your controller to initiate the scanning process. The PS5 will show you a list of all the wifi networks it detects in the area.
Step 4: Selecting the Hotel Wifi
Scroll through the list of detected networks until you find the hotel’s wifi network. Once you’ve located it, select the network and proceed to the next step of entering the network password, if required by the hotel.
Step 5: Entering Password and Accepting Permissions
If the hotel’s wifi network is password-protected, use the on-screen keyboard to enter the password provided by the hotel. After entering the password, proceed to accept any terms and conditions or permissions required by the network to complete the connection process.
Step 6: Confirming Connection
Once you’ve entered the password and accepted the network terms, the PS5 will attempt to connect to the hotel’s wifi network. If the connection is successful, you’ll receive a confirmation message indicating that your PS5 is now connected to the internet.
Step 7: Testing the Connection
To ensure that the connection is stable and functioning correctly, it’s a good idea to test the connection by launching a game or app that requires internet access. If everything is working as expected, you’re all set to enjoy online gaming and streaming on your PS5.
Staying Connected on the Go
Now that you’ve successfully connected your Playstation 5 to the hotel’s wifi, you can enjoy all the online features and entertainment the console has to offer while on the go. Whether you’re playing multiplayer games or catching up on your favorite shows, staying connected is essential for a seamless gaming experience.
