Improving Switch Wi-Fi speed enhances online gameplay and downloads. Move the Switch closer to the router—reduce distance and avoid walls, metal objects, or other electronics that interfere with the signal. Update your router’s firmware to the latest version, as manufacturers often release updates to boost speed and stability. Change the router’s Wi-Fi channel: use a tool like Wi-Fi Analyzer to find a less crowded channel (2.4GHz channels 1, 6, 11; 5GHz channels 36-48, 149-165). Switch to 5GHz Wi-Fi if available—it’s faster than 2.4GHz, ideal for downloads and online gaming (note: shorter range). Use a Wi-Fi extender or mesh network to boost coverage if the router is far from the Switch. Disable other devices on the network while using the Switch—streaming, gaming, or large downloads on other devices slow down Wi-Fi. For optimal speed, use a wired Ethernet adapter for the Switch Dock, which provides a stable, fast connection.
