I need your help. I like to play online games such as Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch. After I found one after a long search for a Lan / Ethernet cable, I noticed that the switch does not have a Lan / Ethernet port. That's why I need a LAN cable adapter. Does anyone know of a LAN cable that works well with the switch, or does it matter which one I use?
I would have to be wrong, but I don't know that the switch can even be connected via a LAN cable.
As far as I know, this adapter is the only reliable solution. Conventional Ethernet to USB adapters do not work on the switch because there are no drivers.
Actually, all modern USB LAN adapters should work there, otherwise just look at the description of the article. I would also recommend an adapter with gigabit, these are faster and more future-proof.
I think I bought this one myself once.
Works, but only with a USB adapter
Many Thanks! I'll order one
The answerer is wrong here. If the driver is not present in the ROM of the switch, the adapter will not work. Therefore, I would not buy adapters that do not specifically list the switches as compatible.
I just checked again and I've been using this exact adapter for over a year without any problems.
How fast is your speed So download / upload?
While measuring, I had a download speed of approx. 65MBit / s with a 250k line. Download should have been about 12MB / s.
