Here Is A Workaround For Connecting Your Nintendo Switch 2 To A Public Wi-Fi Network With Login Page
If you’re using a public Wi-Fi network to connect your Nintendo Switch 2 to the internet, you might have faced difficulties in accessing the Wi-Fi network due to its captive (authentication) page.
Thankfully, a workaround has been found, and you’ll need a smartphone or computer to use it. Here’s what you need to do:
- Go to the HOME Menu and access System Settings
-
Scroll down to Internet
-
Select Internet Settings
-
Select the name of the public Wi-Fi network that you wish to access and press “Connect to this network”
-
The console will attempt to connect to the public Wi-Fi network’s captive (authentication) page, but it will fail and result in a 404 “not found” error. Press the + button (Information) and it will display a long URL address of the page it was trying to access
-
Copy the long URL address of the captive (authentication) page and enter it on your smartphone or computer’s web browser. Alternatively, you can take a photo of the URL on your smartphone and copy and paste it from the image (this may only work on newer smartphones)
-
Once you’ve accessed the URL on your smartphone or computer, you will be asked to authenticate or accept the terms and conditions. After you’ve authenticated and/or accepted the terms, your Nintendo Switch 2 will reattempt to connect again, and it will successfully connect to the public Wi-Fi network
