Reddit reviews UGREEN Ethernet Adapter USB 2.0 to 10/100 Network RJ45 LAN Wired Adapter Compatible for Nintendo Switch, Wii, Wii U, MacBook, Chromebook, Windows, Mac OS, Surface, Linux ASIX AX88772 Chipset (Black)

I used the following guide for my setup.

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromecast/xo_NDh5CZA8;context-place=topicsearchin/chromecast/category$3Achrome-os

The ethernet adapter I got was the Linksys USB3GIG. It is nice that the USB3GIG supports 1000Gb and has USB3.0 to take full advantage of the bandwidth in theory.

My setup cost me $29, but it can be done for $20.

Edit: I changed the amazon links since I didn't realize amazon shorten links are referral links.

I've just tried this out.


I have my UGreen USB ethernet adapter plugged into my Anker USB-C hub with PD and my Anker Powercore+ 26800 PD battery powering the whole thing.


Its charging and showing me the squiggly line for wired ethernet on the screen, so I'm pretty sure any dock using compatible components will work in the way you want.

As an aside - obviously the HDMI port doesn't work, unfortunately.

EDIT: the UGreen Ethernet adaptor is plugged into one of the USB A 3.1 ports on the Anker hub.

I found This One for $10 that's been working for me just fine.

> Now if you can help me fix the lag.

Here, I also recommend subscribing to a real ISP, but that varies between regions.

you can get a random one on amazon for like 10 bucks. I got one for my wii u and it works on my switch as well.

edit:

this is the one I got, so I can guarantee it works on switch.

These all work. Note that the Switch USB port is capable of USB 3.0 but a software patch is required which Nintendo hasn’t pushed yet, so USB 2.0 is what the Switch is currently pushing. Up to you if you want to pay a few extra bucks for the 3.0 adapter anyways.

Don't buy this one. It's $27 which is way too much for a LAN adapter. This one is less than $12 and works with the Switch just fine as well.

The online play is alright, but because of the nature of the Wii U's wifi connection, it's nearly impossible to get good netplay without the use of a LAN adapter.
This is the one I use - it's cheap, and it's always been perfect for me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYT481C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hope I could help!

Wrong. I ordered this one and it works like a charm.

this one will work according to another user, Im sure 90% of USB 2.0 to ethernet adapters will work. but other users have had less success with USB 3.0 adapters. which wont really make a difference unless your connection is over 50mb/s.

I bought this one back in June. It worked straight out of the box on my Switch.

Look into power line adapters paired with Ethernet adapter. I'm in a similar situation and this is my solution and it works perfectly. it's an expensive solution but you can use the power line adapter for PC's and other things in the basement. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01929ESG6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_eG39Bb73F41RT
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MYT481C?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

edit: also note this is not an invasive option since you just plug in the power line adapters, then plug one side into your router and one into the Ethernet adapter

I play the GameCube version of Phantasy Star Online regularly, and the GC PSO community widely recommends this adapter for people who play it on a Wii. If you're curious, the Wii requires a particular chipset (ASIX AX88772 or AX88772A), and the adapter also works with my Switch.

I'd like to put this here as a cheaper alternative to the official Nintendo adapter. Haven't had any problems with it, works great.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYT481C/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

To my knowledge Nintendo aren't selling one themselves but there are a load you can buy that should work.

I am using this one, UGREEN USB Ethernet , USB Network Adapter - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MYT481C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've had no problems with it and all I had to do was plug it into the Switches dock

I use this one. It works great and hasn't bricked my system.

I haven't heard of bogus ethernet adapters causing issues unless we're talking some no-name brand from Alibaba. There's a good chance you bought the same one as me from Amazon which hasn't given me problems: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYT481C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

What I suggest is to try out your other Switch games to test out their connection. Or you can setup a Battle Arena with competitive ruleset to attract someone who probably has a wired connection - or ask a friend/Discord rando to join your arena and test the lag. If it works, then it's the opponent's bad connection, but if it doesn't, it's something to do with yours.

This one is only $10. Depending on your router, you may not notice a big difference though. I've played both ways and do notice a little less lag when using the adapter.

Ah darn, okay. Sorry! I guess the only other thing is to try a wired connection. I have this one here. Works just fine

Nope, this one :P

Yes, USB to Ethernet. Best Idea ever if you use the Switch not Mobile. For the Station. so its really good. I used it for the WiiU and now for the Switch.

here is one but there are more of them in amazon. There is a Adapter sell from Nintendo but that is to expensive.

This is what you need if Ethernet will solve your problem.

USB Ethernet adapter plugs right into the usb on the dock, the one I bought is $9 on Amazon, then you plug an ethernet cable from your router into the adapter which you can also get fairly cheaply on Amazon.

I'm not going to say this will totally work for you because I don't know all the factors that made this work for me but here is what I did. (my switch was also too far away to run a cable to). I bought this https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Powerline-Pass-Through-TL-PA4020P-KIT/dp/B010Q29OW6/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1509712689&sr=8-8&keywords=ethernet+powerline+adapter and this https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Ethernet-Adapter-Nintendo-Chromebook/dp/B00MYT481C/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1509712641&sr=8-5&keywords=switch+ethernet+adapter&dpID=41xJwvUzySL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

The powerline adapter was easy to set up and in my house the outlets they are in are on different breakers and that seems fine. After setting them up, plugging in the switch, and setting it to run on wired not wi-fi there's one more thing I did. In a connection test I saw my nat type was B also, everyone said that wasn't great and it should be A for best performance so after lots of googling I figured out how to change that in my router settings.

For me I have comcast so to get to my router settings I type 10.0.0.1 into my address bar and enter the default username and password for comcast (admin ; password) then on the left there is and advanced tab and under that DMZ. Enable that and for the host set the switch's ip witch you can see in the connection test, mine was 10.0.0.11 yours will probably be different. Save that then run a connection test again and it should be type A. Whatever router you have should have something similar so just google how to set up dmz for your specific brand.

After doing this I very rarely disconnect.

Good is subjective, but the one that I have is this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYT481C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it works just fine.

I use this.

It's a 100 Mb Ethernet adapter that will get the job done. They do have a gigabit version of this adapter, but the Switch currently doesn't support USB 3.0, and the only thing you would get out of it is faster download speeds for eShop games.

I'm using this one. Cheap and works perfect

I bought this one about two weeks ago for my Wii U. It works and looks great with a reflective black finish that matches my console. It has reduced lag on most Super Smash Bros. online matches, but not eliminated it completely.

Hey need some help with lan adapter. Before a 5 months ago I bought this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYT481C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
He worked to me all the time. Today I tried and he stopped working on the switch but when I tried the adapter on my PC and PS4 it worked. I tunred off the system, didn't help. Do you have any solution?

I bought one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYT481C/

cat 5.e and I have lenovo yoga with a gpu and its able to run csgo fine when i have a decent connection(120+ fps), but im using this ethernet to usb adapter since my laptop doesn't have a ethernet port, do you think that's causing any problems.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MYT481C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sywPCb08YPYGQ
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XMD7KPU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_6ywPCb8VJQS1A

Would those two work?

I would just need to plug in the Ethernet adapter to the hub right?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MYT481C/

I used to have problems but changed my wifi and I can't remember the last time I disconnected.

I got an Ethernet adapter for ARMs which also eliminated my connection issues. I got this one
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MYT481C

Go with Ethernet if it's an option, even if your staring right at your access point while playing. This game has a zero tolerance policy. You only get like 2 game ticks before the room boots you. I don't blame the game for choosing to be less forgiving and more accurate. It encouraged me to make some changes and everyone I play with wins (emotionally) because of it.

Purchased this yesterday https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Ethernet-Network-Nintendo-Chromebook/dp/B00MYT481C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504184067&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+to+lan+switch arrived today and it works flawlessly for me

That’s a great tip, I didn’t even think of using an adapter like that, thanks!

I was about to buy one of these, but yours is a lot more practical.

Just make sure you get a hardwire connection. I don’t have any problems, but I did when I used WiFi and when I got a WiFi extender in my room.

Hardwire is the way to go

If anything, if you got access to a ethernet cable then just get yourself a cheap router and make your own WiFi for your room/dorm.

Otherwise, this one works with the Switch

this will solve your issue

Plug one in near your router and plug the other one near your switch. Get one of those USB Ethernet adapters too.

I've had 12/13 games perfect using this $9 USB Ethernet adapter even on mediocre DSL. Didn't have to set DMZ. Worked out of the box. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MYT481C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DbIbzb85TTGJD

First you need something like this to provide the port, but then you need to figure out how to network it as it sounds like you want to connect to your laptop which is tethered to your phone. I'm sure it's doable, but I'm not certain on how to set that up.

Could be a problem with your router's wifi.

You might want to test with a USB to Ethernet adapter

You can purchase a USB to Ethernet adaptor.

In fact, any adapter with the ASIX AX88772 chipset should work if that's the case.

If you want official, get the Hori one, but i saw a comment in a thread on r/NintendoSwitch where someone said this one works just fine too

Getting Prepared for smash and have 2 questions.


1- Lan adapters - Does it matter exactly what i get? I would like to NOT pay 30 bucks for the official Nintendo one and found this on Amazon but wasn't sure if its exactly what i need?
https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Ethernet-Adapter-Nintendo-Chromebook/dp/B00MYT481C/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1543589715&sr=8-5&keywords=nintendo+switch+lan+adapter


2- Game cube controllers, Do any USB(unlicensed) game cube controllers work with the switch? Or do i need to buy either the USB converter or the Switch Game cube controllers?


Thanks!

I don't have experience with Magic Ears, however I have heard that USB ethernet adapters work fairly well in those situations. If you have USB-C, that would be the best option but USB 3 should work just fine too.

Hello.

Do you think a standard Wii to USB converter such as this one would work aswell?

Currently my router is upstairs and I have 1 ethernet cable running through the floor to my desktop. I would rather not use Wi-Fi on my switch. Could I use something like this to split my cable, or would something like this be better?

Secondly for the cable should I purchase the official Nintendo connector or would this cheaper one work?

I bought this from amazon UGREEN Ethernet Adapter, USB... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MYT481C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareon 1st march around release date. Been using it since never had any problems. Only 9.99 from amazon UK.

I got a recommendation for a off brand adaptor on Amazon from this sub reddit that works great. I went from a 6mbps(wifi) to a 39mbps(wired). The adapter was $10 with free shipping.

If it's just the ethernet port that's gone, you should try something like this before you go and buy a whole new motherboard

It's only a minor inconvenience. If you don't use the onboard USB port for anything else then you can use this adapter. If you need your USB port and ethernet then use this adapter. Or this one or this one if you want faster networking (not true gigabit but about 350 Mbps vs 100 Mbps).

It says it works with the switch for the 2.0 version. But yeah, I got the 3.0 version in case nintendo ever enables the usb ports to 3.0 via fw update.

Is it possible to use one of this along with regular Ethernet cable as Console cable.

Probably not.

This one is working for me.

I woke up this morning, turned my Mi Box on and realized the Ethernet was no longer connected. I had the wifi toggled off too. I am experiencing the same issue as you. Once I rebooted, Ethernet was connected again.

tl;dr: Of how to get Splatoon running well easily but for money (which will also benefit every other internet enabled device in your home!).

Step 1) If you're using an ISP provided modem (or heaven forbid modem/router combo), take it and chuck it in the garbage into their returns center. Replace this with a new (new in box, not used), ISP compatible modem.

Step 2) If your router is from 2010 or early, it's time to upgrade. If you don't have one because it was in your Modem provided by an ISP. . . Well, you need to get one (also new!).

Step 2.5 (OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED IF YOU POSSES THE TECHNICAL APTITUDE)) Install an alternate firmware (OpenWRT, DD-WRT, etc) to your router.

Step 3) Get an Ethernet Adaptor for your Wii U.

Step 4) Get a line of at least CAT-5e (just about any ethernet cable you'll find in store long enough to reach from your router to your Wii U (so long as that's less than 100 meters), and plug them into each other.

Step 5) Set your Wii U to run off the new shiny wired connection!

Step 6) If running your Wii U on a wired connection is not an option, nor is purchasing about $150~200 in network equipment viable. Send me a PM and I can help you make the best of it.
