My Google nest wifi works great with all devices EXCEPT my Nintendo switch. It doesn’t matter where I place my Nintendo switch - it can be right next to a wifi point and it makes no difference. Prioritizing my switch device makes no difference. Using a different router, I had no issues with wifi on my switch. Does anyone have any ideas? It’s driving me insane.

Issue started as soon as I connected my new google wifi (months ago now).
Trouble shooting steps include: moving the switch closer to the router with no obstructions. Restarting the router, restarting the switch, connecting the switch to a guest wifi, prioritizing the switch in the google home app.

Hi Lostprincess,
Thanks for the response. Since the only device that's experiencing this is your Nintendo Switch, is there any way we could try to change its DNS? If so, please try using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to the DNS 1 and DNS 2 fields.
Thanks,
Edward

Unfortunately this didn't help with speeds. Its 28mbps compared to every other device which is on 97mbps

Hi everyone,
@EdwardT, thanks for the helpful responses.
@Lostprincess, thanks for the effort and sorry for the delay. We need to set a static IP address on your Home app for your Nintendo switch.
Give these steps a try:
Keep us posted.

Hi! Can I ask what I am supposed to add to the text field? What digits or how many? Thank you

Hi Lostprincess,
Thanks for getting back to us. You can set any IP address for that device. You can also contact your ISP to confirm what IP address is best for your device.
Thanks,
