I use this one: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08B668FRS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It has the "approved" AX88179 chipset, it has multiple reviews saying it works fine on Switch.

However, it's losing connection every few minutes for me. The connection just drops for several seconds to a minute, then it resumes like nothing happened. That makes downloading games from the eshop and playing anything basically impossible. No error is displayed, either. I also tried the USB 2.0 ports.
The connection also seems to drop when connected locally via FTP.

It's connected with a 2m/6ft cat6 cable to a gigabit switch (tried different cables, too). No other device on the network has an issue. Connecting the adapter to my PC, I see no drops either, so it's not an issue with the adapter itself.

I read of people having this same issue a few times, but never a solution.

Has anyone solved this?
