How to Access a Captive Portal on Your PS5

The PlayStation 5 has a built-in web browser that should appear automatically when you connect to a Wi-Fi network that requires a login (a captive portal). If it doesn't, these steps will help you force it to appear.

• Navigate to the PS5 Home Screen.
• Go to **Settings** (the gear icon in the top right).
• Select **Network**.
• Go to **Settings** > **Set Up Internet Connection**.
• Find and select the Wi-Fi network you want to join. It may show "Action Required" or a similar message.
• The captive portal login page should open automatically. If not, proceed to the next section.

Manually Triggering the PS5 Browser for Wi-Fi Login

If the login page doesn't appear, you can often force it by trying to access a plain HTTP website. This is where nossl.sh comes in handy.

• Follow the steps above to get to the network details screen.
• Look for an option to test the connection or view details.
• A more reliable method is to use the User's Guide. Go to **Settings** > **User's Guide, Health & Safety, and Other Information** > **User's Guide**. This will open a web browser, from which you can navigate to `http://nossl.sh`.

Why won't the Wi-Fi login page show up on my PS5?

This often happens because the network redirect isn't working correctly, or the PS5 is trying to connect to an HTTPS site first, which captive portals can't easily intercept. Using a non-HTTPS site like http://nossl.sh helps trigger the redirect.

Can I use my PS5 on hotel or airport Wi-Fi?

Yes, but you will almost always need to authenticate through a captive portal. Following the steps on this page should allow you to connect your PS5 to these types of networks.
