So we currently have a user in this server who has an issue with a switch not connecting to the network. Sees the network and everything however whenever the network is selected it will not connect. My last option is to reset the router at this point for this person. But I am unsure if anybody else might have another fix we've tried to unmount the SD card and take it out we've also tried to change and reset the internet settings but nothing nothing at all. So please let us know and maybe we can find out what's going on with it thanks.

TIPS TO IMPROVE WIFI CONNECTION

§ The Switch's Wifi connection is quite weak, thus it always has issue to reach the maximum speed limit of your Internet connection. You can check the connection quality by going into Home screen > System Settings > Internet > Test Connection. To improve it, you can try these steps below:

1. Delete your Wifi connection from the Switch.
Home screen > System Settings > Internet > Internet Settings > Choose your network > Clear Settings
2. Restart your Switch by Holding the Power button until the Power option menu appear > Choose Restart.
3. Restart your router/modem by cycling its power (Turning off then on again).
4. Bring your Switch closer to the router/modem then connect to the Wifi again.
5. Add DNS to your Switch's Wifi settings. Type !tag dns for details.

￮ Aside from this, you can try:
･ Using a different waveband for your Wifi, 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz.
･ Changing the name of your Wifi (It will affect other devices)
･ Changing password and security settings (same as above)
･ Change the channel your Wifi is broadcasting on. Automatic mode is often not very good.
･ Set a static IP address for your Switch, following the DHCP setting on your router. Google these details to learn how.

@sacred geode for future reference, unmounting the SD card has zero effect on wifi (the two aren't even remotely related)
