Bought my switch 2, had it on Ethernet and it would drop connection randomly and thus dc me from matches. My network is rock solid for everything else on that Ethernet switch and my switch 1 with a usb Ethernet adapter didn't have issues.

Only my switch 2 on Ethernet did. That said, I switched to WiFi and the issue went away. I am probably not going to bother with Ethernet again because WiFi on the switch 2 is much better. It can handle channels above 149 for instance. The switch 1 could not, at least not the og release. Oled might have an improved chip but never checked as my wife was the one with that and not myself.

Okay, so the Switch 2 dock had Ethernet woes, huh? Annoying! Wonder if Nintendo stress-tested that part enough before launch. The 21.1.0 update supposedly fixes the dodgy wired internet, finally? Pips NYT Makes you wonder how widespread the issue was, and how many frustrated gamers suffered through laggy online matches because of it. Reminds me of when my old router kept dropping the connection during crucial online gaming sessions; pure agony!

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a versatile console, but its dock suffered from a fatal flaw. A malfunctioning Ethernet port made WiFi often a less-than-desirable fallback option. Many gamers are confirming that the 21.1.0 update solved the flaky wired internet connectivity.
