Using Remote Play: Turn on your PS4 system or put it into rest mode. Connect a controller to your computer with a USB cable, or pair it using a DualShock 4 USB wireless adaptor. Connect the secondary account to PS4 Remote Play. After the controller automatically deactivates, turn it on by pressing the PS button and log-in to your primary account through the Remote Play screen. Now I assume you can use your controller because PS4 Remote Play is still being streamed from your secondary account. Not Supported Via Bluetooth. On the PS4™ system’s function screen, you must select (Settings) PS Vita Connection Settings, and then select the Enable Remote Play checkbox to set a checkmark. If you enable remote start on the PS4™ system, you can use remote play to wake the PS4™ system from standby mode. From the function screen, go to Settings Remote Play Connection Settings, and then turn on Enable Remote Play. From the function screen, go to Settings Account Management Activate as Your Primary PS4, and then select Activate. You can enable this setting on only one PS4 console for each account. You are trying to do something that doesn't work. You have 2 choices, either connect the dualshock4 to the computer with cable, or create a 2nd account on the ps4. Use the 2nd account with remote play, then you can connect your ds4 to your primary account. This will allow you to use the DS4 wireless and stream the PS4 screen to your Mac.

This has been a question that has been around since the feature first launched and will likely remain something that will be an issue for a lot of people in the future. Remote play is running slow and you want a way to make PS4 remote play faster. Like any network related issue, this one can have a large number of causes and solutions. In this guide, I will try to give a few useful tips to know about when you are trying to sleep up remote play and make the connection faster.

The first thing you need to know with the speed of remote play is that its slow in general. Even when it’s working at 100% peak performance, there can still be some lag. Particularly with the PS TV. Getting a perfect, full speed, real-time response from the remote play feature is not something I was ever able to achieve on the vita or PS TV, but I was able to get some good results by taking the following steps.

Connect directly to the PS4…or don’t

I apologize for the lack of a concrete answer here. Depending on the location of your PS4 and router, it may be faster to choose one over the other. To make this worse, it can even vary from within the house. For example, my PS4 is upstairs. When I am downstairs it’s faster to connect via the internet, when upstairs its faster to connect directly. It is annoying as hell if you move around the house, but it is the price to pay. You can set this setting in the remote play section of the settings.

Use a wired connection

This, of course, doesn’t apply to the vita, but if you are using a PC or the PS TV, you will likely have the ability to use a wired connection to connect directly to the network. A wired connection is always faster and more reliable than a WiFi connection. The same is the case for the PS4. If you have the option, connect the PS4 to the network using a wired connection to make there is one less signal to worry about.

Optimize the wireless connection

If you are unable to use a wired connection, there are some things you can do to boost the wireless connection. WiFi signals sort of work like sound waves, they bounce off walls easier than they travel through them.

1. Open doors so as not to obstruct the signal.
2. Put the WiFi router in an open location so the signal doesn’t get lost.
3. Get a WiFi repeater to boost the signal around the house.
4. Place the device in a location where it can get a good signal.
5. Make sure the PS4 is in a location where it isn’t being blocked.

Does the game support remote play?

So, yes, all games support remote play, but this is built in support on the operating system level. There is, however, the option for developers to add dedicated support for remote play. In most cases that I have seen, this will do great things for the performance. With all of the same variables, the performance can improve massively if you are playing a game that has dedicated remote play support. This is, of course, nothing you can control, but it is a good piece of information to know if you are doing everything you can and it isn’t improving performance.

You may be able to play remotely on your home PS4™ system from your PS Vita system via the Internet.

Preparing for first-time use

Before performing these procedures, you must do the following:

• On the PS4™ system's function screen, select (Settings) > [Remote Play Connection Settings], and then select the [Enable Remote Play] checkbox to set a checkmark.
• On the PS4™ system's function screen, select (Settings) > [PlayStation™Network/Account Management] > [Activate as Your Primary PS4] > [Activate].
• When using an access point provided by a public Wi-Fi service, set up your system so that it can connect to that access point.

Registering (pairing) a device

You can register one PS4™ system on your system for remote play.

Ps4 Remote Play Connection Settings

1.

Log in to the PS4™ system.
When logging in to the PS4™ system, select the user that is linked to the same Sony Entertainment Network account as your system.

2.

On your system, select (PS4 Link) > [Start] > [Remote Play].
When registration is complete, the PS4™ system's screen is displayed on your system.

Playing remotely

If you enable remote start on the PS4™ system, you can use remote play to wake the PS4™ system from rest mode. On the PS4™ system's function screen, select (Settings) > [Power Save Settings] > [Set Functions Available in Rest Mode], and then select both [Stay Connected to the Internet] and [Enable Turning On PS4 from Network] to set checkmarks.

In some network environments, the remote play connection might become unstable.

Using remote play via the Internet

You may not be able to use remote play via the Internet depending on your network connection. If this occurs, the following reference information might help you make a connection.

Ps4 Remote Play Connection To The Server Timed Out Windows 10

• On the PS4™ system's function screen, select (Settings) > [Network] > [Test Internet Connection], and then confirm that you are able to connect to both the Internet and PlayStation™Network.
• Verify whether port 9304 (UDP) can be used. If that port cannot be used, you must adjust your router's port forwarding setting to allow communication to the PS4™ system from the Internet. For details on the port numbers used for remote play and how to adjust settings, refer to the instructions supplied with your router.
• If the PS4™ system is connected to the Internet via two or more routers, communication may not work correctly.

• A router is a device that allows multiple devices to share a single Internet line.
  Communication might be restricted depending on the security functions provided by your router or Internet service provider. Refer to the instructions supplied with the network device in use, and information from your Internet service provider.
• Port forwarding is a function for forwarding signals that arrive at a specific port (entrance) to another specified port (exit). This is also referred to as 'port mapping' or 'address conversion.'
