Connect PS5 to Hotel WiFi...When all other methods FAIL...this WORKS!!!
Every method I found to connect my PS5 to Hotel WiFi failed. Any guide leading to opening a browser (Owner's Manual, PSN Status, etc) would not work. The browser would have an error message failing to connect. Also no options on my PS5 to authenticate via mobile device. I spent thee days and finally figured it out. Here's how:
- Connect your PS5 to the WiFi Hotspot on your Mobile Device so you're connected to actual internet.
- Go to Messages in Game Base and send someone (anyone) a link to PlayStation.com, then open that link. A browser window will open and the PlayStation webpage will load as it should.
- Press the Options button on your controller and then select "Pin to Side". You'll have to select which side you want the browser on, then press X to dock it.
- Go back to Settings -> Network -> Settings -> Set Up Internet Connection, and connect to your Hotel WiFi. It will connect, but will fail on the internet connection. Relax. Read on.
- Press the PS button twice to switch to the browser card on the side, then click any link on the PlayStation page.
- The Hotel Wifi Login page will load as it should, and you may now log in as normal.
- Go to Settings -> Network -> Connection Status -> Test Internet Connection. The "Failed" status will clear and your Internet Connection will be active.
