Hardware I was right about Switch's WiFi.

How many Wi-fi signals are close by? When I was in Job Corps, practically everyone had a hotspot open on their phones and it made my Wii U gamepad desync like crazy.

Here the only ones are my own

This is why I ran a wire to my office. So many wireless networks in a 100yd radius.

No issues here.

Why would one need 100 Mbps = 12,5 MB/s on a gaming machine?

Playing Splatoon 2 online uses up about 150 MB an hour so theoretically 0,05 MB/s or 0,4 Mbps should be enough (unless I miscalculated).

so you dont have any neighbours who also have routers?

Thick walls, so you dont pickup their wifi signal from my room. You will be able to find them from the living room, but the router my switch is connected to is in my room.

EDIT: Seems like i pickup 1 signal from the neighbours, and its on an other wifi channel.

It’s because of ur shitty router and internet

Works perfectly for me on 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks. Try 5ghz if your router supports it, a whole lot less interference, albeit at the cost of range, especially through walls.

I've commented that certain people should upgrade their routers, but you don't need blazing internet speeds for Switch. It's just a lot better to have a 5GHz band for Switch and any other compatible devices.

OP still has shitty internet

 

[A Plus Ric]

Get rid of your shit routers lol

 

[grossaffe]

Did anyone really disagree that the wifi isn't the best in the Switch?

Given OP's combativeness, I wouldn't be surprised if people started responding that way to get under his incredibly thin skin.

Also, Not sure if I was in that thread. I have no problems with my wifi, I have over 50 MBPS download and over 20MBPS upload, with 3 bars, over 20 feet range. So I can't really comment, nor will i say is anyone fault.

Using 5GHZ on trendnet ac17590 router doing fine for me. Though my ps3 and ps4 both have poor connections on 2.4GHZ so maybe is a router compatibility?

Buy a usb 3.0 lan adapter and it will work way better.

which one?

Which Job Corps did you go to? I went to Tongue Point, in Astoria Oregon from 2002 to 2003. One of the best years of my life.

Try changing your channels on the router, it will most likely improve.

 

[ShonenJump]

i actually think that because there is both2.4ghz and 5ghz on switch that's causing this shit wifi signal. 5ghz works great but somehow 2.4ghz sucks. Wiiu 3ds has even better 2.4ghz connection than the switch

 

[Pippin666]

Congratulation, someone else have a similar problem. Your ePenis grew a little bit more.

I plan on getting a Switch down the line I have my Router Set on N would that improve the situation I have been seeing around with the wifi?
I know you can set up as ether Mixed, G, G and N, N settings..

I seriously doubt it. Also, bear in mind that if you have any older devices that don't support N they won't be able to connect.

The Switch's networking is crap. Both wired and wireless. It all depends on if the Switch "likes" your router. Even if it does, expect the Switch to perform worse than any other device on your network.
