I Am Having Issues Connecting To The Inter Net On My Sons Nintendoswitch.

my son's switch will only rarely connect to our internet and when it does it's very slow and drops him eventually. Our other 2 kids have switch lites and they connect without issue. We have tried all that we can think of to fix it.

The following steps will help you connect your Nintendo Switch to your WiFi network.
  1. Place your Nintendo Switch within 10 feet of your WiFi router to ensure a strong wireless signal.
  2. Turn your console on and open the HOME Menu.
  3. Select Internet, and then choose Internet Settings.
  4. Your Nintendo Switch will automatically search for nearby WiFi signals. Select your desired network name (SSID) from the list.
    • If you can't find your network's name, stand closer to your router and press the Y button to search again.
    • If you still can't find your network or your network's name is grayed out, this may indicate an issue with the WiFi network environment. Find out how to troubleshoot your WiFi connection.
  5. If your WiFi network requires a password, an onscreen keyboard will appear. Use the keyboard to enter your network's password and then select OK.
  6. The Nintendo Switch will test the WiFi connection. Once the test is complete, select OK to finish the process.
