The Switch already can support some third party ethernet ports while docked via USB so the Ethernet port doesn't strike me as a big deal.
- willis936 5y agoIt is a big deal because the switch does not go to sleep when a USB-Ethernet adapter is plugged in. This hardware does not have a powered-on MTTF that would make many customers happy.
- bzzzt 5y agoNot sleeping with a plugged in Ethernet adapter seems to be a problem with certain third-party adapters. I'm using an old Wii ethernet adapter which works fine.
- willis936 5y agoI thought so too. I've gone down the rabbit hole in the past. I've tried three different chips and the result is always the same. Sometimes it's spottier behavior but it always ends up staying on in the steady state.
- staticman2 5y agoI've never had that problem with the official wii adapter as far as I've noticed.
- willis936 5y agoThe models I tested included the Wii/Wii U official adapter and the official Switch adapter.
- staticman2 5y agoThat's very strange, I checked with my brother and he's never had that problem either with the official wii adapter.
