If you’re traveling and want to play your Nintendo Switch, you might find that connecting it to the hotel Wi-Fi isn’t as straightforward as it is at home. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of connecting your Nintendo Switch to a hotel Wi-Fi network.
To get started, click on the home button on your Nintendo Switch. From there, navigate to the gear icon to access the settings menu. You can use the controller or tap the letter A on the screen to select it.
Once you’re in the settings menu, navigate to the Internet section. Here, you’ll see a list of available Wi-Fi networks. Look for the hotel’s network name and select it. Some hotel networks don’t have passwords, so you won’t need to enter one. However, you may need to enter your room number or other information.
After selecting the network, you’ll likely encounter an error message that says registration is required to use the network. Don’t worry – just click on the next button and wait for the system to connect. It may take a minute or two.
Next, the system will try to bring you to a login page. You might think that you can’t access this page since you’re not yet connected to the Wi-Fi network, but just be patient. Eventually, you’ll see a login page where you can enter your information. Usually, you’ll need to enter your last name and room number.
After entering your login details, click on connect, and you should be good to go! You’ll now be able to play games online and access the eShop, just like you would at home.
Connecting your Nintendo Switch to a hotel Wi-Fi network may take a bit of patience, but once you’ve done it, it’s a pretty simple process. With these steps, you’ll be able to enjoy all your favorite games, no matter where your travels take you.
