Hey guys,
Since the 6.0 update I've been having absolute shit WiFi signal on the Switch.
It's using 2.4ghz signal and Ive been getting 1 bar (on good days) of the signal. Other devices are full signal even more than 5 meters further than the Switch.
It's complete crap. It takes literally hours to download any kind of demo and the video playback is so stuttering that I cannot watch anything. 2 seconds of playback and 10 seconds of waiting for the buffer.
Can I do anything to fix this? Some people report that 5ghz badn works better but my ISPs router/modem does not support that unfortunately.
 
Welcome to Nintendo cutting corners for a slightly cheaper device (for them)
My WiFi is laughable on my switch. I've compared it to many friends, and it's the same. The fact Nintendo recommends we use a lan adapter to play Super Smash Bros is just salt in the wound. They know their WiFi chip is shit.

So I'm stuck with this trash?

My iPhone 4 works on the other side of the house through like 3-4 solid walls. :mellow:
 
i always have more bars on the 5ghz network, assuming that the 2.4ghz would connect. Most of the time i cant connect to the 2.4ghz network.
