How to Access the Nintendo Switch Web Browser
The Switch’s secret web browser is simple. It’s not the best mobile browsing experience; a smartphone gets the job done much better. However if you want to check it out, follow the instructions below:
Select System Settings from the Nintendo Switch dashboard. Select Internet > Internet Settings. Select your current Wi-Fi connection to access its information page, then select Change Settings. Scroll down and select DNS Settings. Change the DNS settings from Automatic to Manual. Set the Primary DNS to 045. 055. 142. 122. Select Save to connect to the SwitchBru DNS page. Wait roughly eight seconds to be redirected to Google. If nothing happens after eight seconds, select News from the Switch dashboard, then select Find Channels.
Why This Nintendo Switch Browser Workaround Works
Using this method sets up a DNS proxy that tricks your Nintendo Switch into thinking it needs a public Wi-Fi access point to connect to the internet. The SwitchBru DNS serves as that proxy, allowing you to bypass login information to access public Wi-Fi.
How to Disconnect From the Switch Internet Browser
When you’re done using the Switch’s browser, press the Back button on your Nintendo Switch until you reach the DNS Settings page. From there, change the DNS setting from Manual to Automatic.
