Turning cellphone (4G) into wifi and use for ps4?


Recommended Posts

I have a cellphone with a decent 4g connection. Is there a good gadget to use in order to create a wifi that I could hook up my ps4 on.

I am asking in order to bring my ps4 on a vacation.

If it is an android phone I believe you can share your internet, create an access point for the ps to connect to, on iPhone I'm not sure but there may be an app to do that

Please don't be offended, it's a small piece of my mind that I chose to expose...

You could use the phone as a hotspot as mentioned. I'd check with your cell provider and see if it's an added cost. I can use my phone for one, but I'd have to pay a $5 a month fee to have it activated.

It's an android. As you mention it I have used it as a hotspot for a laptop before (pain to configure). I will try and see if the ps4 can use it ok.

I am a bit skeptical as how well the connection would work. I figured if I use something else than the phone it might be more reliable.

On my internet I get around 10-12 meg download, 1 meg upload and ping of about 15ms

with my phone internet I get about 15 meg download, 11 upload but ping is 46ms

This is how I do all my gaming. No phone means no playing online.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

I use about 40-50 a month. I usually game 4 hours a day.

Not bad, about 400mb/h. Gonna have to see what my deal with the provider says as far as limitations on data.

Thanks guys!

It does vary per game. If I play Destiny more in a week it is less than playing GTA for a week. Party chat also draws more data that game chat.
