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".

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.

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

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.
