Hardware Problems with Gigabit ethernet adpater & USB 3.0

WRC · Dec 16, 2019

So, running lastest firmware 9.1.0 on Switch,I have an ethernet gigabit adapater usb 3.0.(specifically UGREEN one)

Can anyone confirm me that the USB 3.0 is really not enough powerfull to deliver Gigabit, the usb 3.0 only transmits or acts as 100mb port instead of a 1000mb port(the standars USB3.0 has a theoreticla bandwith of 5gb/s).

Is there a hardware problem that the usb-c of the Switch itself cant do more than transmiting 1080p@60hz + data networking?

Or firmware is limiting that USB 3.0 port on the dock to 100mb? Is it really usb 3.0?

It's the bandwith of the video & audio signal of the switch not letting enough room for 1gb speeds on the dock? (1080p@60hz = 4.95gbps)

TLDR: Switch can't do gigabit ethernet speeds (1000mb/s) through USB 3.0 port on the dock?

The 3.0 port isn't 3.0 Nintendo never updated that part it runs at 2.0 speeds

How is this not advertised ... not even in the official page of nintendo. what a trolls... ok. Thank you for the info.

We know atleast if that port is acting like full usb 2.0 standard (half duplex mode) or like USB 3.0 (full-duplex) but with 2.0 speeds?

Would this work if you use it with android?
Or only wifi works.

Fwiw you can enable 3.0 with Atmosphere, but what homebrew would work at that if any, I couldn’t say. You’re also then likely to have Bluetooth interference, hence being disabled by default.
