Just to clarify,

What I'm trying to do is playing game remotely through my ps5 and desktop pc at home when I'm outside.
As for PS5, it's connected to internet with wired cable. I can't play PS remote play when I trying to to use it remotely when I'm outside since I can't connect to my PS5.
As for my desktop, I'm trying to use steamlink to play game.

You mean you want to sit in the backyard and connect your PS5 to the wifi from your CAX80?
Forget about the "outside" bit. Work out how to connect the PS5 to the wifi when you are sitting next to the router. Get that right and the wifi should follow you.
What happens when you try to connect the PS5 to the wifi from your CAX80?
Likewise the PC. Is that wired into the CAX80? Or is it connected over wifi?
- Hello, ps remote play is working when I’m connected to same wifi as my router.
What I can’t figuring out is using remote play when I’m on different wifi or using cellular data.
For instance, my home is in LA and I want to do remote play when I’m at other state.

What does "remote play" require? A connection to your desktop computer at home?
If so, you need to set up some sort of service that lets you connect to your home from a distant wifi source. Perhaps you need a VPN. Who knows?
