Nintendo Switch Lite Ethernet Connection

Twisty on 11/12/2024 - 15:53

Hey
Does anyone know if there is a way to connect a Nintendo Switch Lite to Ethernet?

Just wanna be able to do it to download Fortnite updates which are horribly slow and even maybe playing Fortnite connected as the switch has a not soo good wifi range

If anyone has done this can you recommend the device for me please that’s if it can be done

Thanks

    Probably a USB-C Hub with an Ethernet Port.

    Thought about any of the following?

    • Sitting closer to the router
    • Wifi upgrade - Mesh network, maybe?
    • Running a dedicated AP just for the switch if the ethernet point is near where you're playing

      Have a Eero Mesh system
      Just that the Switch lite wifi is horrible. Doesn’t switch o each Eero when needed like everything else does. So wifi speeds so thought Ethernet connection would be better

      My Switch OLED docked with Ethernet gets good speeds so thought why not try do the same for the lite

        You could try turning wifi on/off to force connection to the closest case station.

          Yer it’s a pain tho

            @Twisty: Fair enough. IMO, toggling wifi would be better than playing cabled.

              @ihfree: I just really want Ethernet for downloads to update big games like Fortnite as it’s massive updates and the switch takes ages
