How to Connect to a Hotel Wifi and Authenticate on PS5 Pro (Network Settings)
2Connecting to a hotel's Wi-Fi on a PlayStation 5 Pro involves a few steps because hotel Wi-Fi often requires authentication through a webpage. Here's how you can do it:
Step-by-Step Guide:
Go to Network Settings:
From the PS5 Pro's home screen, navigate to Settings.
Scroll down and select Network.
Set Up Internet Connection:
Choose Set Up Internet Connection.
Select Wi-Fi:
If you're using Wi-Fi (which is common in hotels), select Wi-Fi. If there's an option for Use Wi-Fi, select it.
Connect to the Hotel Network:
Scan for available networks and select the hotel's Wi-Fi network from the list. You might need to know the network name (SSID) if it's not broadcasting its name.
Enter Wi-Fi Password (If Required):
Some hotel Wi-Fi networks require a password. If prompted, enter the password provided by the hotel.
Authentication Through Webpage:
Hotel Wi-Fi often requires you to authenticate via a login page, which can be tricky with the PS5 as it doesn't have a built-in web browser for this purpose. Here's what you can do:
Method 1: Using Your Smartphone or Computer:
Connect your smartphone or another device to the same Wi-Fi network.
Open a web browser on your device, and you'll be redirected to the hotel's login or authentication page. Log in using the provided credentials or accept the terms of service.
Once authenticated, your PS5 should also gain internet access if your device and PS5 are on the same network.
Method 2: Use PS5's Manual DNS Feature (Workaround):
Sometimes, you can bypass the captive portal by using a public DNS server. Here's how:
Go back to Network settings, choose Set Up Internet Connection, select your Wi-Fi, and then choose Advanced Settings.
Under DNS Settings, switch from Automatic to Manual.
Enter a public DNS like Google's (8.8.8.8 for Primary DNS and 8.8.4.4 for Secondary DNS).
Save and connect. This might allow the PS5 to connect without needing immediate browser authentication, although this is not guaranteed to work with all hotel networks.
Test Internet Connection:
After connecting, go back to Network settings and select Test Internet Connection to ensure you're online.
