Change Nintendo Switch’s Security Settings
One of the best ways to fix the connectivity issues is by fixing the security settings of the Nintendo switch. On the home page click on the settings button and you will see a menu on your left. Click on the “Internet settings” button and then select the Wifi network you are connected to. Select the “change settings” option and then click on the “security” button. One of the WEP or WPA options would be already selected, players have to change the security settings to any other option. In case the issues are still looming try selecting the WEP or WPA options as well. Every time you change the settings you will have to enter the password again.
Factory Reset The Nintendo Switch

Weak Wifi Signal
The issue can be as simple as the switch being placed a bit too far from the wifi router. Some routers only cover a certain area which is why some parts of your house might get weaker signals than others. We would recommend you to use the Nintendo switch closer to the wifi router and if possible open the doors as they might also obstruct the wifi signal.
