I was thrilled to change from my previous provider to T-Mobile’s internet. The speed is great. The service has been super reliable. Where I’m having trouble is on my Nintendo Switch. I can’t get visitors on my island on Animal Crossing. I can’t race against friends on Mario Kart. Virtually all online gaming functionality is useless. And I’m frustrated I haven’t been able to find a solution. I called support and they basically said there’s nothing they can do. Has anyone found any solution to this?!
PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE, I HAVE SOLVED THE ISSUE---at a price of 30$
When I first got my TMOBILE tower, MarioKart online worked fine...then it didn’t.
Two months of trying everything left me with a NAT type D and an inability to connect.
SOLUTION THAT WORKED:
Ordered from Amazon, an official Nintendo “Wired Internet LAN adapter”
The weak spot on the Switch seems to be that it is wireless without an ethernet plug in. This adapter allows ethernet to be plugged in through the USB.
Instantly up to NAT type B and racing my heart out.
Did not even have to institute plan B which was to use this product AND kick everybody else off of the connection.
Still pissed at T-Mobile for making me sinking hours into solving an issue that should have never existed, but glad to be on the other side of this.
This solution is perfect for those that are not tech savy and are intimidated by the talk of VPNs.
Hi, does this solution still work?
I just got the Nintando Lan adapter and I still get the NAT Typer Error. Don't waste the money.

Too late :( Oh well. Looks like a VPN is the only solution. Question is, do I need the dedicated IP, or is the VPN enough?

II I literally just called T-Mobile about this. And they had no real answer to fix it. He told me to connect my router via Ethernet cable to my extender and try and play like that? But I don't think that will even work. I mean I'm going to try it but we'll see. But yes I'm having the same exact problem as you and it really frustrates me because I love Animal Crossing
