It doesn't directly connect to the PS5 console while at home to guarantee a stutter free high resolution feed video (ex: Wii U gamepad did it 10 years ago, no wifi required) and instead relies on your home wifi network which can be bad/flaky regardless of your ISP or even router. With PLENTY of online complaints from users wasting countless hours unable to get a smooth streaming experience.
It doesn't have WiFi 6 which is wild for a dedicated streaming device.
It's streaming quality is no better than if you used your phone or laptop. In fact, Portal quality is often worse if you use Chiaki on mobile/PC. (I don't understand how some internet randos know networking and decoding better than Sony)
At $130 though? I think it's definitely worth a shot to see how quality is on your home network. Albeit I'm shocked how many owners gloss over these issues.
I get what you're saying but this is more purpose built vs your solution.

Haven't done cloud streaming much, but it's worked totally fine when playing, and we only have 100MBPS internet (with an awesome Asus GT6 router).
It already has top priority on my asus 86u. Maybe I'll have to adjust some other settings?

I had my order canceled. It was available for pickup at my local Best Buy and now it's no longer available so maybe that's the reason they got canceled? Regardless I ordered another one this time having it shipped and it hasn't canceled yet
Ordered a Like New for shipping around 10:30am ET, got the FedEx shipping confirmation at about 4:15pm ET for delivery tomorrow.
Shipping from a Best Buy about 175 miles away.
I could be upstairs where I am assuming it's hitting my top floor Deco while still on my home network and....static-y experience. ?????
Outside of the home? I have a great upload speed + ping but it still can be butt cheeks as when off the network it is still of course connecting through your PS5. This is where things get funky as there's to many barriers involved to troubleshoot WHAT is wrong. Is it my PS5? is it my Decos? Is it speediest lying to me? What is it???
The feel is amazing. I see the use case for this. Here's my second fear: This is going to turn into a $150+ vessel for PS Premium games if I never use this again for actual local gaming. That too is a bit....much. It was a great 1080p experience but that's because I'm not streaming through my console.
Sounds like a mixed bag. I pick this up tonight. My thoughts... I am also on deco mesh. 1) force portal to 5g band only - better? 2) force portal to connect to ONE deco puck only - vs hopping around - better? 3) set priority on the PS5 - or on the Portal? Better? ---- Theae are all things I plan on experimenting with this evening if performance bites like many have reported. You may have tried a bunch of items all ready - just sharing my thoughts. Good luck!
All of the above can be done via the Deco app... not in portal settings.
