Hey everyone, fairly sure I'm not the first person nor will be the last to have this issue. Made the swap from BT to EE last week, and was assured everything should be exactly the same, simple straight swap and for the most part it has been. Except for one thing, I'm no longer able to use my PS5 Remote Play from a network outside of my own.
My set up is this. My router is plugged in in the hallway, my PS5 is in my living room, and I'm using one of the Wifi Plus boxes for it. Same set up as I had with BT. My PS5 has a Static IP address, and I've set up the Port Forwarding based on the rules I've seen around. Yet, when I try to use Remote Play from my Work computer, it's refusing to connect to the PS5, I get a generic "Something Went Wrong - 8801330f" error message, which on searching just tells me its to do with Port Forwarding, and as mentioned I have done that.
Now I'm pretty open to the idea that maybe I have done something wrong, but I'm not really sure what. I've:
- Deactivated/Reactivated the PS5 as my primary system.
- Set up Port Forwarding
- Restarted my PS5 via turning it off completely and back on again.
- Reinstalled the Remote Play App
- Tested Remote Play works from inside the network. (It does!)
At this point I'm at a loss on what more I can do. Unfortunately I'm at work right now, so I can't send the list of ports I've forwarded but it was based on other posts I've seen around on the likes of Reddit and months ago here. If there is a more up to date list, or even a specific way I should be forwarding them, then that'd be handy just in case I've done something wrong.
As I say, I'm perfectly willing to say this is user error at this point, but I need this fixed. I use the Remote Play function a lot when I go to visit family or other places, and up until this point it's worked fine, and then the switch to EE happened and it's bust.
