So I just got a switch this week and I keep having this issue with my network connection. I have other consoles such as a PS4 Xbone and even the Wii U. All of them connect and can play online with no problem at all. But the switch won't connect at all unless I stand next to my router. Not even 10 feet away from my router will the switch connect. It's weird since it will connect next to it and sometimes hold the connection even if I go downstairs, I can play with no problem. It doesn't always hold though. Anyone else have a similar issue? How did you solve this?
I contacted Nintendo support and they just did the normal bullshit about troubleshooting internet issues. But it's not my internet, all my devices work just not the switch.

First of all you're a fucking retard for buying any Nintendo portable system at launch when 2 or even 3 hardware revisions are inevitable.
Secondly, Switch's shitty wi-fi chip was a known issues, so were the other 20 issues with this shitty system. You should have done a bit or research before getting one. Even my nitnendo cock sucking fanboy friend admits the wifi on his switch is crap. Now be a good boy and spend $20 more on a USB/Ethernet adapter since this God-tier console doesn't even come with a Ethernet port.
And after this you'll see another issue pop up, and then another. Have fun troubleshooting those. Oh just be sure to not play any games, because if you need to send your Switch for repairs and they replace it your saves will be gone, since ths God-tier console doesn't allow you to transfer save files to a HDD or USB, much like upload them online.
I hope you learned your lesson (probably not) that buying any console at launch is straight up retarded, but especially Nintendo portable systems. Now you know.
