I haven't had any problems and both are connected via WIFI to my RT-AC66U. Framerate and Video set to high also. I wonder if those having problems would benefit from a better router?

My PS4 and PSTV are hardwired. Played a little Resogun and BFHardline remoteplay this morning and it was glorious at 60fps. Still a touch of lag but negligible. Can't wait for the bump to 1080p!

I must say, the remote play is working magically some way some how. I used to lose connection after 2 minutes of play. Just played for about 20 minutes with no disconnect symbol the whole time. I don't know what's going on, but I'm skeptically optimistic at this point.
Vor Vita [1080p>544p stream] and VitaTV [1080p>720p stream]... no. But it would be nice if they can enable 1080p60 video stream for SharePlay and Android RP.
However, thing that would dramatically imprtove Vita RP are official DS4 support and official Vita grip accessory that has physical R2/L2 buttons.
Can you keep me updated with your gaming experience via remote play? I'm in the same boat as you and would re-purchase a Vita if it is genuinely improved.
This is what I'm waiting on its a pain in the ass to stretch my finger over to the back right touchpad to target lock in Bloodborne, took me like 6 attempts to down the first boss so for now I just use in in bed to grind blood echos.

PSTV is currently £45 at GAME online and Argos in UK.

Wow, I don't need one but that is kind of too good to pass up.

Yeah. Just ordered one. £45 for (kinda) a second PS4 to use in the bedroom, plus another place to play my library of PS One classics, PSP and Vita games on a TV. It's a no brainer for me.

This is a huge improvement for me. Wow. 60fps Super Stardust HD or Resogun over remote play is amazing. The only game that the 60fps couldn't really keep up with the 60fps so far is Zen Pinball 2, but I've got that on Vita natively.
I can now see getting a Vita TV even to basically be able to play PS4 games in the study.

Thanks for posting this!
I've reserved one from my local Argos. Now I just need to get some homeplugs to get a decent connection in another room.

Already have a white import, but tempted to pick one up for the bottom of the garden man cave I'll be making once I move.
£39.99 in Smyths in you have one near enough.

i was having pretty crap results over wifi so i bought some 500 Mbps powerline adapters, and now it works like a charm
I've just done the exact same thing. Not got them yet though. Is it a perfect 1080p and 60fps? And is there noticeable artifacting?

I have a problem: when I try to use remote play from home, the psvita automatically tries to connect straight to the ps4 without going through wifi. Thing is, my PS4 is too far away so it keeps disconnecting. Since my router is way closer, is there any way to connect through WiFi even from home?
720p max? That's strange, the Shield does 1080 over wireless without much issue. Oh well, I'm sure I'll cope.

Yeah, wifi is shit at my apartment as well. If I ever remote play from another location the experience is fine. Sucks because I tell my wife to take the main TV whenever she wants and then I end up fighting with the Vita and messing with the router settings.
Yes; this is a PS4-side option and can only be disabled while not on remote play, lol.
Remote Play is great on VitaTV, it even has LAN port. With it you can eliminate all wireless streaming issues if PS4 is also connected to router with cable.
Max output of VitaTV is 720p, and RP stream is also delivered in that resolution [720p60].

So doesn't seem to have improved anything for me. No better, no worse. Still couldn't connect through wifi at all. Fucking blows :[
Any chance of it going 1080P? The 60 FPS is nice though.

Any big single player games a must try through Vita?
I beat much of infamous second son on Vita but I haven't really used it since.

Bloodborne has a good vita control scheme.
Alien Isolation is truly great game, but I don't know how they managed control scheme on vita.

i think it is more of a limitation of the vitatv hardware rather then the streaming tech. even on games run locally, it can only output a max of 720p
since hooking up the powerline its a perfect 720p/60fps with no stuttering. there are artifacts in certain areas. like switching from bloodborne back to the home screen you see them for a second. but in game has been perfect
i've only played bloodborne on it so cant comment on others. using the ps4 os runs perfect in 60 fps mode though

i played bloodborne and wolfenstein. felt like there was zero lag now. noticeably less lag than pre-update/standard mode. frame-rate wise i didn't feel like wolfenstein was 60fps all the time. it was significantly better than before which looked like 30 with stutters, but it definitely wasn't as smooth as the locked 60 you see on the ps4 natively.
eitherway remote play is just getting better and better every time they update it. i wish there was a pc remote play app or something else that could do 1080p now. bloodborne was looking like a ps3 game on the pstv due to the lowered res
ditto that - OLED + Vita DS4 support

Much much better for me. PS4 is wired and Vita TV is on wifi. Controller latency is barely noticeable. Played Spelunky and Bloodborne as test games.
Just tried remote play after the update with a vita first, then my Sony Z3 phone...
The vita is excellent. I use a direct connection and the ds4 workaround and it's definitely better. Dragons Age Inquisition ran perfectly; great frame rate, no sound hiccups (this was a problem before) and I can now slide the brightness all the way up - which is awesome!
The z3 experience was less impressive. Clearly, I'd benefit from a direct connection but to my knowledge, the phone can't do that. It played fine for two minutes or so and then the dreaded poor connection icon reared it's ugly head.
Now to be fair, I've done no work with my router... It's hard wired into my ps4 though. I'm not the "router guy", I don't know how to change the settings to benefit remote play and the vita works so well in the house that I'm not too bothered.
If I ever wanted to play outside the house though, I'd be screwed.
Overall and for my needs, the update has greatly improved my remote play experience.

So far it's been consistent with no lag still. Played a few hours last night and tonight on GRAB and Driveclub and it's been a great experience. not once did I see the weak connection icon and things have been great - it's what I wanted remote play to be like from the beginning.
I tried my best to play prior to this update to the extent of trying several setups, even putting the PS4 litreally at my feet and always had some issues. This is a godsend!

Remote play over Wifi to my PS Vita in the same room is drastically improved with the 60 fps settings, however it definitely drops frames all over the place.
Not a huge complaint in all though honestly, because cutting that input lag down in half has made a game like Pinball Arcade actually playable where as before it really wasn't for me.

After the Fixing Vita Wi-Fi Connection thread, figured I'd give 60fps remote play a try.
Goddamn. Coupled with the Vita's wi-fi being less shitty to where this feels even less laggy doing 60fps compared to prior 30, remote play is now insanely good. MGS GZ feels and looks like a native Vita title.

I must have something goofy in my settings. I have a PS4 and a PSTV, one on each floor, and they are both using hardlines directly to the router. My PSTV connects fast to the ps4 but that lag is brutal. I must have something wrong in my settings. I don't think its my TV as I have other consoles on the same TV and there is no lag there at all.
Ill monkey around with it today but could it be a router setting? I supposed I should check my bandwidth first...

Did you make sure to turn off direct connect?
Party chat- so I can hear people when I join the party on ps4 but they can't hear me when I connect directly to ps4. But if I join the party app on vita and then I connect to the router (instead of directly to the ps4) i can pass audio. Question- what is better for remote play performance? Router or direct?
damn
Can you also add "TKIP" to "AES" change?
It helped me twice on different routers, and another gaffer and is also mentioned on a web page from 2012.

Cant say I did, I thought that was only on the handheld vita.
I did seemingly forget to change the 60 fps setting though. I was sure I had but I guess not. Maybe I just looked at it lol. Either way, that helped a bunch when putting it on but it still has some lag. Will try some more tonight.
Im super impressed with the new firmware.
My Vita is now streaming pretty much perfectly via direct connect, PS4 connected to router via powerline, and lag is now pretty much imperceptible.
I also have a new Vita TV downstairs, into router via Ethernet and it' shaggy as hell.
Question: should I turn off direct connection? I'm worried that'll make the Vita TV great but the Vita itself laggy.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

I'm interested in installing the unofficial RP function on my Samsung Galaxy S3, I hear my phone doesn't have to be jailbroken to do this? Can someone give an easy to follow tutorial for me, the forum listed in the OP has a tutorial and the downloads but I still find it a bit confusing.
Oh, I also have a theory about why some people missed it. Not everyone would be really interested in Remote Play, may be because they don't have a PS4, may be because they are "having problems connecting even to their home network so why try anyway", may be because they are genuinely not interested... They may not even click the thread, or if they do, they may ignore the red warning as they would think it would be the optimal setting for remote play, but they may want to "keep downloading stuff when the screen is turned off" as that's what one may understand from that god-awful wording in settings menu even though the setting is not related to keeping downloads in stand-by.
