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?

      Yeah you should really figure out what sort of service you are getting from your isp. Like I said, out in the countryside it’s not uncommon to have piss-poor mbps (at least in the US)

      And if it’s a repeater, it will halve your bandwidth. Actual mesh APs are a bit better, but you’re still taking every packet and rebroadcasting it. And if the device only has one radio, I don’t think they can listen and transmit at the same time.
