WiFi or wired, there's ways to get better.
It's been no secret for some time now that the Switch, whilst lovely in so many ways, doesn't have the best relationship with the world wide web. Spotty WiFi, lag, it's far from perfect for many people, but there are a number of things you can do to improve it. Let's start from the top shall we?

The very first thing you should do is make sure you’re on a delicious 5GHz signal. If you don’t know, there are two kinds of WiFi connection that you’ll generally find in your home, 2.4GHz, and 5GHz. 2.4GHz is better at penetrating walls and other solid surfaces, and was the tip-top standard for so many years it’s almost frightening. So why are we telling you to change that around if 2.4GHz is so lovely? Well, truth be told, almost all wireless devices use the same frequency, such as Joy-Con, Pro Controllers, wireless controllers for ‘other’ systems, your phone, anything with bluetooth, it’s all 2.4GHz, and that gets very messy very quickly.
