No WIFI connection Nintendo Switch & Orbi RBE773

[romsbri]

Dear community,

I just bought the BE11000 Mesh WiFi System (RBE773) system, I succeed to reconnect all my network devices (smartphone, Sonos speakers, printers, desktop, Sony PS5..), except the Nintendo switch OLED of my kids...

I read that the Nintendo Switch was only compatible with WIFI encryption network based on key WEP, WPA-PSK(AES) & WPA2-PSK(AES); as far as I understrand it's the ones which we have on this ORBI system.

I'm going to raise the same ticket on Nintendo FAQ platform

Does anybody have an idea how I could solve this issue ?

thanks

thanks @FURRYe38 for taking time to answer to my question, after investigating on Nintendo forum, I found the way to reboot the switch (I'm not an expert for that) and after this reboot (press a long time on power button), my SSI has appeared and I was able to connect it correctly... 

the problem is solved.

Orbi BE system support AES encryption. WEP is out dated and compromised years ago and no supported on Orbi systems. 

Trying to connect to the main WLAN or have you tried the separate IoT network? 

Ya, make contact with Nintendo as well.

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
