I play from work to my PS4 at home. The connection is stable with only the occasional hiccup, I have also used the starbucks wifi to my PS4 at home though it was kinda spotty. It has some lag (around half a second) but otherwise it is for the most part rather reliable. I have been using the feature since I got FFXIV on my PS4 and before that I would use it to stream some things. it is however to note that a lot of businesses (including the airport near me) block the ports used to connect to your PS4 at home. The Vita does do a network stability test to see if your connection will hold so both your PS4 at home and the connection you are using while outside your home need to be sufficient in order to support it. If you get the "Turning your PS4 on" then it shows "Checking network" and stays like that for prolonged period of time a couple things may be happening.
1) your ports are blocked on 1 end or the other
2) I personally have had issues with it finalizing the connection if an update is waiting to install
3) its picked up a connected device (keyboard or controller) and wants me to log in to a specific user (easiest fix for this problem is before you leave unplug everything from your PS4)

Make sure your PS4 is set to auto log in as a user as you must be logged in to make a connection.

outside of these I have not had any issue using it remotely playing FFXIV, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeros, Towerfall: Ascension, or any other PS4 game while I am outside and my PS4 is at home.
