      Well, I set up my Switch for the first time last night.  I was able to download the NES games and Super NES games.  However, later that night when I went back to play them, I got the issue that the network needs to be registered and it's asking me for user authentication (username and password).  I've tried many username and password combinations and still won't connect.

        And I recently purchased and set up an ORBI RBK50.  I works well with my laptop, iPhone, Roku, except for the Switch.
