USB 3.0 is considerably faster than USB 2.0. The Nintendo Switch will automatically recognize the hard-wired connection, and display the symbol for Wired Internet in the top-right corner of the home screen. Run the ethernet cable from your network router into the adapter, then plug the USB end into one of the three open USB ports on the Nintendo switch. If you have one that was compatible with the Wii or Wii U, it will also work with the Nintendo Switch. It requires you to purchase a LAN to USB network adapter, available from many retailers. While the Nintendo Switch does not support an on-board Ethernet Port, it is possible to set up a hard-wired internet connection on your Nintendo Switch dock.
