How can I get my Switch better connected to the Internet? (lemmus.org)

Usually, when I try to use my Switch for online connectivity the system is connected but I keep getting error messages and won’t actually connect to the online servers I try to access.

I live in the countryside with my family, so maybe that’s why my Internet is so wonky?

But I’m still able to access the online classic games for the NES, SNES, and Game Boy at least: I just can’t play the regular Switch games.

Any advice for a better connection?

So a bunch of people have already said about using the ethernet adapter. Which is exactly what I would say.

But for argument sake and for people who are using the switch lite, get yourself a Wi-Fi analyzer. Like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vrem.wifianalyzer

You're living in the countryside you shouldn't have a lot of EMI. Could be just poor signal. The analyzer will help you visualize what the Wi-Fi is where the switch is.

Of course this is all assuming that the problem is on your side of the connection and not from your ISP.
