You’re giving self contradictory information. Are you all on the same network or not?

rain frost
#

No

#

We are not in the same network

sacred nimbus
#

So you’re all in different locations?

rain frost
#

Yes

sacred nimbus

Okay. Go to system settings -> internet and tap “test connection” and tell me what NAT type it comes up with on all three consoles

NAT TYPES & ONLINE MULTIPLAYER

§ Many Nintendo first party games (Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, etc...) use peer-to-peer connection in online multiplayer, this is affected by Network Address Translation (NAT) - a network protocol. NAT type rank from A > B > C > D, from best to worse.

Check your NAT type: System Settings ⚙️ > Internet > Test Connection.

■ Peer-to-peer Protocol
The way it works: The players in the same online multiplayer section communicate with each other directly. Therefore the section's quality (lag, delay) depends on each player's connection's quality.

■ NAT Type's Effects
With NAT Type C, D, or even B, you will have trouble connecting and often see Error Code: 2618-0516 - Unable to connect to other console(s)

■ To improve your NAT type, there are several methods:
● Using a LAN/Ethernet adapter for the dock (Please type !tag lan for more info. Although sometime, even with an adapter, it would still require you to use the solutions below.
● Setup DMZ (demilitarized zone) or Port-forwarding on your router. It does require certain networking knowledge to do so. Below are Nintendo's guides:
➤ How to place a Nintendo Switch console into a router's DMZ.
➤ How to Set Up a Router's Port Forwarding for a Nintendo Switch Console
※ Note: Only open port 45000-65535.

⚠︎ Warning: DMZ or Port-forwarding won't open your network (or your console) to any security risk. Read more HERE.

※ Note: Sometime you cannot improve your NAT type by these methods This is due to your Internet Service Provider (ISP)'s config. In this case, give your ISP a call.
