How to Connect Your Nintendo Switch to Hotel WiFi

Ever wanted to play your Nintendo Switch in a hotel room but got stuck at the WiFi login screen? You’re not alone. Here’s a simple guide on how to get your game on without a hitch.

Getting your Nintendo Switch connected to hotel WiFi might seem tricky at first, but it’s actually quite straightforward once you know the steps.

The Quick Answer: Use Your Switch’s Internet Settings

First up, turn on your Nintendo Switch and navigate to the ‘System Settings’ from the home screen. Scroll down and select ‘Internet’, then ‘Internet Settings’. Your Switch will start searching for nearby WiFi networks. Choose the hotel’s WiFi and attempt to connect.

Here’s where it gets a bit unique. Since most hotel WiFi networks require a browser login, your Switch will try to open a new window. If the login page pops up, great! Just enter the credentials provided by the hotel. Sometimes, the page might not load. If that happens, there’s a workaround—select ‘Change Settings’, scroll down to ‘DNS Settings’, change it to ‘Manual’, and use Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4). Then try connecting again, and it should prompt the login page.
