When the Switch Login Page Fails
The Nintendo Switch is generally good at detecting captive portals. However, if it fails, you may not be able to manually navigate to a page like you can on other consoles. Your best bet is to rely on the built-in mechanism.
- Go to **System Settings** > **Internet** > **Internet Settings**.
- Select the network.
- Wait for the "Registration is required" prompt and select **Next**.
- If this process fails, the network may not be compatible with the Switch.
Can I open a browser on my Switch and go to nossl.sh?
The Nintendo Switch does not have a user-accessible web browser for general surfing. The browser only opens for captive portal authentication. Therefore, you cannot manually navigate to a site like nossl.sh.
