This one is officially licensed by Nintendo.
Is it known what chipset the Nintendo recommended adapter uses?
I am in Mosher Hall and I am able to get switch ethernet to work. Although, It is slower than wifi. First, get a router (I got this one). Disable the wireless transmission, so it is basically a gigabit switcher (real gigabit switchers don't work on TAMU wifi). Second, get a USB to ethernet adapter (I recommend the one from Hori). Plug everything in and you should have access to Switch Online.
Thanks /u/hankydysplasia. Two questions.
1. Since I already got the HORI adapter which I believe is USB 2.0... Do you believe it is worth it for me to go and buy a USB 3.0 adapter as a replacement? Will it have any noticeable affect on my experience? I like to think I would notice the difference but I'm not sure and you seem like an expert... What say you?
2. HORI says it supports 1000BASE-T... which I was led to believe that means it can support Gigabit... yet since it is USB 2.0 and not 3.0 does this mean that HORI is simply being misleading?
Appreciate you.
I was planning on getting the official nintendo one https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Internet-Officially-Licensed-wii-u/dp/B01N6S068R.
What advantages does the one you link to in the post have over it?
