Hardware Nintendo switch can't connect to Motorola E40 WiFi hotspot

[Morricorne]

Always i have connection error. On switch lite and previously owned v1 hacked switch.
No matter if i use password or No. In Motorola i have stock Android 11.
I used other Android device (Xiaomi Pocophone F1 with lineageos Android 10 and wpa2). With xiaomi device. Switch don't have problem to connect to WiFi hotspot. I tested with switch lite and previously owned v1 hacked switch.
Anyone know what can fix this issue?
Its really frustating. Anyone know how to fix this? Any help will be apperciate.

It just doesn't connect or it doesn't see it at all?

I have connection error with red dot. With Pocophone F1 switches connect without problem. Its really frustating. Cause i need swap sim cards from Motorola to Pocophone when i want browse internet. Or download from eshop on switch lite.
Other devices like laptop or Any Android device can connect without problem with Motorola E40

Here's a shot -

the switch only supports wifi authentication up to WPA2
on your E40 make sure it's not set to use WPA3
on your E40 change the hotspot security from WPA2/WPA3-Personal to WPA2-Personal.

You can try to see if you can change the broadcast channel if there is one.

How come you have no regular wifi?

How come you have no regular wifi?

Cause my only internet avaible is from mobile Network data. I have 200gb data transfer for almost free. In every month in my Country. Im from Poland

Do you know what region is that switch lite from?

I think its from EU But im not sure. Can i check this with serial numbers?

Probably won't do much, just sound likes that the current hotspot it is not connecting to doesn't like it.

What's the SSID of your phone's hotspot? Does it include non-ascii characters?

 

[emustateofplay]

along with a simple ssid name, try a new simpler wifi password too. make sure you delete the wireless profile from the switch entirely before recreating / reconnecting

Motorola E40, Poco, BlackBerry Mobile Hotspot 5538
Only Motorola E40 not work. Rest of them with those devices work with switch

We had a hotspot with a name something like "moto e40 2345", after changing it to "moto" we manage to connect and turn off security(without a password) we manage to connect Switch with Motorola e40 for the first time.
Later we set WPA2 and password with big letters and underscore("_"). We faced the issue again. Finally, we changed the hotspot name once again(to "moto1") and set the password that contains 8 same letters and manage to connect Switch with e40 again.

Thank you randy_w and emustateofplay

Potential fix: adjust the apn settings for the phone. Was having the same issue with the moto g stylus 5g when I upgraded. Basically make a new APN with the same settings as the default, except change the IP protocol to IPv4 or IPv4/IPv6.

I'm always interested when I see a necro bump with a potential solution. Just wonder how you came across this thread to offer the help.

Like, most necro bumps are from people searching for a problem they have. Did you randomly decide to see if anyone else had a problem like this? Was it in a post suggestion or something?

P. S. Please don't take offence to this, genuinely curious.

I don't know, I don't have a Nintendo Switch anymore. And Motorola E40. Steam deck and Motorola g100 has no problems connecting steam deck and Motorola. Internet settings are factory and everything works. But thanks for your help
