I found a USB-C to ethernet adapter that works with the Switch 2, and one that doesn’t.

Just as the Switch 2 doesn’t play nicely with a lot of webcams out there, the same may be true for USB-C to ethernet adapters, too. I snagged an $12.99 Anker model last week (model A8341), plugged it into the console’s top USB-C, and ... nothing happened. Thankfully, my second attempt, Ugreen’s CM199 adapter, works just fine.

The Switch 2’s dock has an ethernet port, but in case you’re in need of an adapter for downloading games at a respectable speed while in handheld mode, they’re $14.99 at Amazon, or $12.99 if you have a Prime subscription.
