The USB-C Port on the Switch is capable of 1Gbps if the home network and internet connection supports it. Just need the right "dongle".

All that work for the sake of a pun. I love geeks.

And that's the old dock, the newer one (since OLED) has a built-in ethernet port

>My dongle is 2357:0601, For some reason it does not have a vendor name but I confirmed that was not unique to the switch so proceeded along. This is because the lsusb vendor/device id lookup table was missing that vendor/device, probably just an old version of lsusb, but the vendor/device IDs look real (https://devicehunt.com/view/type/usb/vendor/2357)

> A speedtest shows that it can at least do 90Mbps (one of my dongles is only 100Mbps).

Would be interesting to see if 90 is a bottleneck of the machine, or if a gigabit connector would let you go faster.

It’s not a long read and likely worth your time, but the TL;DR is turning a Switch into a network switch. Not a very fast switch, but it’s amazing that the pig sings in the first place.

Going a step further - you can actually run the Tegra drivers with CUDA on the Nintendo Switch too: https://wiki.switchroot.org/wiki/linux/linux-features#genera...
