windows® pc is connected to the same wi fi network as your ps5® (and of course make sure the ps5® is turned on and connected) if your computer is currently using a wired lan (ethernet) connection , temporarily disconnect the cable and switch to wi fi your wi fi router must support the 2 4ghz band most modern wi fi routers combine their {{2 4ghz}} and {{5ghz}} networks under the same wi fi name {{ssid}} , so you typically won't need to worry about this step however, if your router has separate ssid connections for each band, be sure to connect your pc to the 2 4ghz network specifically random disconnections upnp must be enable in the internet routers settings another solution is to put zenlink™ and the ps5® on a static ip address with port forwarding enabled (see the instructions for your router) tcp port 9295 → 9295 tcp port 9304 → 9304 tcp port 8572 → 8572 udp ports 9000 65535 → 9000 65535 no wired headset audio if your wired headset isn't working and your dualsense® is connected by usb cable to your cronus zen™ , you will need to manually change the remote play input device to usb headset on your ps5® ⚙️ settings > sound > microphone > input device > select usb headset a wired headset is not supported when your dualsense® is paired to the cronus zen™ using bluetooth however, a usb or wireless headset or that connects directly to the ps5® works fine console name not set ensure your ps5® console has a name in its console information section prior to setup it is given a name by default, but there is a chance you may have removed it at some point dualsense® edge curve if you are using a dualsense® edge controller, you must change the built in right stick sensitivity/deadzone settings to default or it will break the functionality of many scripts go to settings > accessories select dualsense® edge wireless controller > custom profiles select create custom profile , call it cronus , then select ok select the profile you created and right stick sensitivity curve default curve adjustment 0 deadzone adjustment 0% important notes zenlink™ must be within reasonable range of your wireless router/modem to ensure smooth operation; otherwise lag and disconnecting could occur you should have a good idea from your other devices as to whether you are within a decent wi fi signal range zenlink™ uses similar technology to playstation® portal and as such, it is subject to the same restrictions for the best possible experience, minimize the amount of high bandwidth devices and apps like netflix® running on your network while you are playing if your internet is unstable or your network is prone to dropping out, it will affect the performance of zenlink™ connect your ps5® console via wired ethernet if possible the ps5® puts out plenty of hot air near the ethernet connection, so if you see instances of your ethernet connection dropping out on your console, you may need a higher quality cable be aware that ps remote play® will disconnect
