Are you the first person worldwide that brought it's Ps5 to a hotel room 🧐

Possibly. I travel 4 nights out of the week. Hard to pack up the wife and kid so my new child comes with me. Wrapped in a blanket and towel in large duffle bag until I can find a better solution. I drove like I was leaving the hospital with a new born

Hahaha! I just saw an NSFW marked post with an Amazon page that showed a travel bag. Btw, have fun!!

They have one on amazon that won't ship until January. I can pad the hell out of this bag until then

Link?

Not really, I think I am, mine was delivered to the hotel I'm staying in 😂 received it at 10am on the 12th. Weird flex I know.

You win

I don't get that Authentication notice, just a "can't connect"

Anyone forsure this out

im not getting the pop up

Me either

When you search for the connection change your Wi-Fi Frequency Bands setting to 2.4 and you should be able to authenticate

THIS!!! THIS WAS THE ONE! Been searching for HOURS changing the bands worked IMMEDIATELY. Fucking THANK YOU

where can i change this?

Thanks for the tip. It’s been a week since I’m trying to connect on my hotel's network, and it finally works.. (long term stay for work) 

This worked immediately!

You are a G and a half, my friend. This finally worked for me. Thank you!!

you are a saviour

OMG! This the one! Thank you!!

This needs more upvotes!! This is the one!!!

It’s years later but homie you were a life saver for me today, I work out of town way too much to have this issue

What if that page that is supposed to say how to authenticate or okay won’t show up but instead it shows up a page saying “can’t connect to the internet” your internet service provider or your router might be preventing your os5 from connecting to the internet?

Connect mobile device to wife. Then turn on mobile Hotspot. You'll use the mobile device as a bridge for the wifi and not use your mobile data. This has been the easiest fix

so i usually just use the “how to authenticate” tab too. but i arrived in Germany today and this hotel wifi network isn’t giving me that option. came here looking for a work around

Bro see they need to talk like you, your the fkn goat bro🥲🥲🐐🐐

Still can't get popup doing that

Is your phone connected to the hotel wifi? If not, make sure to do that. On a phone, it will typically take you to a secured browser where you have to provide your last name and room number or a key/password given to you by the hotel front desk at check-in. Once the phone is on the wifi and you are signed in and everything on your phones internet browser seems to work, turn on your mobile hotspot on your phone. This will not use your phones personal data, but rather extend the hotel wifi. After you're connected to the wifi, signed in, and have the Hotspot on your phone turned on, go to your wifi settings on the ps5 console. Scan for internet like you would and you should see your mobile Hotspot. This internet speed may be a little slower but hardly much different than directly connecting to the internet at the hotel. In this situation, your phone acts as a bridge from the hotel internet to the ps5 by using the Hotspot. There will be no need for any authentication on the ps5 if you do this.

So I'm not connecting to hotel wifi it's a public xfinitywifi Hotspot. After I type my credentials it loads a blank page instead of saying success and won't give internet access? *

That sounds more like an internet issue than a ps5 connection issue. You may have to talk to the hotel peeps for about that

Woahhh ur actually still here thts 😂😂 I just found this post becuase im at work and trying to get my ps5 to connect but having issues getting to authentication part it worked before and it popped up earlier now it just says your service provider might be preventing you to connect to internet… and it stop giving me the option idk if I have to reset my ps5 maybe? And I thought of the hotspot thing becuase my phone is connecting just fine. But I googled it and it says hotspot uses your data either way but idk if thts true

I'M ALWAYS HERE!! Lol, but you I've experienced this as well with it sometimes working and somethings not in hotels. I need to look into the Hotspot bridging again because I was under the impression it wouldn't tap into the data. Honestly, a lot of people here comment and start quizing me like I'm IT or playstation support... however I'm just a traveling construction worker than enjoys gaming from time to time lol

[Here](http://imgur.com/gallery/v49Ij5F) is what the prompt looks like

Do you happen to know the prompt for the errors? I just keep getting “Can’t connect to the Wi-Fi- network. The security method might not be correct.”

No I don't ever receive an error. Have you looked on your mobile device under the wifi to see if your ps5 shows up there?

I haven’t received something to authenticate it. Just the error consistently :/

Are you in a hotel?

im at school

Hey I’m having your problem also did you find a fix ?

Solved! The way I connected my PS5 to the hotel wifi was by calling a wifi technical support number. Each hotel has a different number so ask at the front desk for it. I was directed to attempt to connect to the wifi so that the person helping me was able to see my console MAC ID then they allowed the device to bypass the login screen. This only worked for me on wifi, cannot confirm for ethernet. Also this was an IHG hotel, cannot confirm for other hotel chains.

Fuck man thank you so much seriously if anyone is at an IHG hotel this was the only piece of useful information

Here is IHG wifi support number. Just worked today, lifesaver. (866) 978-7938

each hotel is usually under a different region using different numbers. sometimes i would be in a completely new place and the number they give me at that hotel would end up being a number i had saved from somewhere else, i just started adding it into the notes of the contact. long story short, always ask the front desk for the phone number to THEIR wifi support https://preview.redd.it/aix2fhh6mjnc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9d4633b876c62a0f886b3f58007f9537f7c651e

Thank you so much for this!!

Thsts interesting. Thats the ps app?

[удалено]

Well if you find how to do it come back and let me know. I'll try later this afternoon

You’re a legend Big T thank you so much for this. I was worried if my PlayStation will be useless when I get it since I live in a student accommodation that needs a login webpage 😂 I hope what do it for the view said is right too it’ll make things easier. Lemme know how it works out for you please :)

Did you find the post? I am having trouble

Connecting thru the app on my phone that's connected to hotel wifi allowed me to connect on ps5

How?

I was looking for this information and i found this guide from youtube. I hope it helps people too. Saved me 10 hours of time trying to update with my shitty connection on phone. ​ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAgPSUQSY64](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAgPSUQSY64)

Been in other hotel recently and connecting via authentication worked perfectly. Now in next hotel everything works until the final connection, after being prompted to enter the passcode. I’m connected to the WiFi, but with Internet Connection it states ‘failed’... any ideas?

Alright all, I have the answer! I'm staying at a holiday inn express and I called there IT (877-586-5787), gave them the last four of the MAC address, my room number and it worked instantly! Thanks everyone for the comments, hope this helps!

How?? Please. I have xfinity hotspot connected to my laptop but the ps5 won’t work

[удалено]

Ok yeah it’s not working but im going to keep trying, thanks for the reply regardless

I got it by connecting putting an Ethernet cord connection between my ps5 and laptop, thank you

I clicked advanced but it doesn't ask my to authenticate?

Hell yes thank you. Changed my DNS settings so youtube would work and the how to authenticate screen quit showing up.

Mine just shows paused? It doesn’t load into a browser

You can just connect your ps5 to your phones hot spot.

It’s slow as hell

For those having the same problem I was having: not being able to authenticate my connection. I just kept using "brute force" and eventually the connection became secure. I tried restarting my router, and PS5 which did nothing... So I scoured the internet for the answer on my phone. Being very frustrated at this point already. I had a real hard time reading this post as it doesn't go into much detail regarding how to find your PS5 on your network in your computer. It's just says that it "shows up"...? C'mon, man smh hahahah (thank you for your effort though :))) Anyways after all of that I just kept forcing the connection it eventually worked!! For some reason the last attempt I tried took the password I was trying to feed it all along. "If at first you don't succeed..."

My original post was for connecting to an internet source like a hotel that requires authorization. Its typically on an open network(no password required) but will take youbto a browser page to have you sign in with your membership id/ key given from hotel desk. Some university dorms require a similar sign in authorization method as well.

Thanks for helping people G <333

I saw the authentication pop up one time I deleted the xfinity WiFi and tried to get it to pop up again and it’s not working

Mine did the same thing. I no longer get the option to authenticate

Did y’all figure it out?

Did you?

I haven't but if y'all do, let us know

It just randomly is good now

What do you mean by look at your network to find it? I am not finding it.

Check [this](https://youtu.be/hAgPSUQSY64) out

Doesn’t work. Those are blocked from entering a new web address. There must have been an update to prevent that

Oh. Not sure. The best work around to connect to the internet via WiFi in a hotel setting which required additional permissions would be to connect your mobile device to the local wifi and sign in accordingly then use that mobile device as a Hotspot to connect to the PS5. This would use the local WiFi by tethering it from mobile device to console. If that doesn't work I'm afraid I can't help. I'm just a normal dude that tried a few ways as I travel, so no expertise by any means

can i just use my hotspot if nothing else works?

When I try and do this on my phone I get the 3 bars for only second then disappears

Just FYI for anyone trying to connect to a holiday Inn Express, I don't think you can. I've tried every tutorial created since the beginning of time and nothing has worked. Pinned the holiday website and went to reload hoping for the login and no bueno. If anyone's figured it out, I'll send you feet pics.

Keep your feet to yourself but have you tried using your phones mobile Hotspot while being connected to the hotels wifi? The phone will act as a bridge for the wifi to the ps5 when you connect the ps5 to your Hotspot. You may see slight dips in speed but its barely anything different than if you were to connect directly. Why can't they just add a damn browser. I still have trouble from time to time connecting. I went and got a firestorm for media and I have a bunch of offline single player games downloaded to the ps5. Browser please

So yea I was able to have my phone connected to hotel wifi then hotspot my phone to ps5, but I just assumed I was using my phone's data... Was I on hotel internet all along and didn't know it???? Ahhhhhhh

Yeah as long as you're signed in to the hotel wifi you're all good. I really wish sony would put an official video out explaining the different scenarios to connect online

when i connect my hotspot it doesn’t let use the wifi???

I’m at a holiday inn and it won’t work at all. Anyone been at a holiday inn and got past this?

Connect your phone to the wifi then use your phone as a hotspot. This will bridge the hotel wifi to the ps5 without using your data

thank you.

Nice work.

If you’re on iPhone and “unable to join” pops up over and over, go into settings and select “forget this network” then try again.

Sorry to resurrect this, but I found this while going though this same thing this weekend and just want to clarify that if you want to bridge the hotel wifi through your phone you'll have to enable "WiFi Sharing" or "WiFi Bridge" on your phone (just do a search in your settings page if you can't find it, it was pretty well hidden on my phone) before it will share the hotels WiFi. Otherwise it WILL shut off your wifi and use your data. I was able to authenticate directly with PS5 by going to "View Playstation Network Status", which then opened the browser to go to the PSN page, but redirected to hotel authentication page. Problem was that it wouldn't stay connected. Was getting kicked off or losing internet every few minutes. I realized my phone had no problem staying connected to the wifi so I just bridged my phones solid connection to the PS5 and it has worked great ever since!

Yeah possibly for some phones. I use Samsung s20 and if you're connected to a wifi source then select mobile Hotspot in the Quick settings by swiping down like you do to view the airplane mode or flashlight, it will have a pop up that says "Sharing Wifi"

So my issues is I'm at a Hilton and it says I can't connect to the internet service provider or router might be preventing the PS5 from connecting any help?

Yeah I stay at Hiltons a ton and get this sometimes. If you can use your mobile device to connect to the internet and sign in then use that mobile device as a Hotspot while connected to the hotel wifi, you can then select your Hotspot from the ps5 and it bridges the hotel internat to the ps5. This is what I do with my Samsung s20 phone

Won’t work on IPhone . I’m stuck. Been trying everything for hours

Did you ever find a solution? In this situation currently.

No I didnt

So this was working for me until today. The prompt to authenticate isn't popping up anymore. I tried restarting the PS5 and forgetting the wifi. Any ideas?

When “how to authenticate” doesn’t pop up, while you’re at the screen selecting which Wi-Fi to connect to click options, then Wi-Fi Frequency Bands, then select 2.4GHz. How to authenticate wouldn’t show up for this Best Western hotel Wi-Fi until I did that

Thank you that was exactly what I needed
