When you use your Nintendo Switch as a portable console around your house or on the go, Wi-Fi is your only option. When you dock it and connect it to your TV though, there’s an easy way to get much faster and more reliable download speeds. Check out the UGREEN USB 3.0 Network Adapter for Nintendo Switch. It lets you connect your Switch to an Ethernet port (or a powerline internet adapter plugged into any regular old power outlet) so you always have the fastest possible data speeds.
