How to Fix Switch Wi-Fi Connection Issues: Troubleshoot and Connect

If your Switch struggles to connect to Wi-Fi, start by restarting both the console and your router—unplug the router for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. On the Switch, go to 'System Settings' > 'Internet' > 'Internet Settings' and select your Wi-Fi network. Forget the network and reconnect: select the network, tap 'Forget This Network', then re-enter the password. Ensure the password is correct—Wi-Fi passwords are case-sensitive. Move the Switch closer to the router to avoid signal interference from walls or other devices. If using 5GHz Wi-Fi, try switching to 2.4GHz, as some older routers have spotty 5GHz coverage. Update your router’s firmware and the Switch’s system software to fix compatibility issues.
