Nothing better than connecting our PS4 to the hotel WiFi and enjoying playing online to forget the boredom of being in a room. On many occasions we will have to wait in the hotel room, perhaps the weather is not helping, even at night, to relax a bit before going to rest to enjoy the next day to the fullest..
Connect a PS4 to the hotel WiFi
The first thing we will have to do is open configuration on PS4. After starting the console we can see the main screen and here is the Configuration tab, in the upper right corner of the screen.
We will have to select Network, which is an icon in the shape of a globe and is located in the middle of the list of settings. Then we are going to Configure Internet connections, which is the third option that appears in this section..
We will choose WiFi and then go to “Easy”. When we choose easy, PS4 will skip the steps involved in advanced network settings. Next, we are going to have to select the Hotel Wifi from the list of available wireless connections.
Many hotels set up guest and employee networks, so choose the guest option if available. The most common would be to have a card in the room with the connection password; if not, we should call the reception to get it..
Now we will have to choose "test internet" is the third option on the screen. The console will perform an internet check. This check may fail when we try to connect to the hotel's WiFi, it's not something to worry about, the next step will help to fix it.
Instead, if the test was successful, then we can start playing online.
Now we will go to the Library on the home screen and choose Applications that is on the left side, just below Games. And we will have to choose Internet Browser.
Click on the address bar and enter the address of any site. For example, “Islabit.com” and we will press “Enter”, we would have to be redirected to the hotel home screen to access the network.
We will enter the login information on the hotel website. Possibly, ask us for the last name and room number. Generally, this page is created to ensure that only hotel guests can use the WiFi.
In this simple way we have everything ready to be able to play online with our PS4 from a hotel.
