Nintendo will sell you the Switch OLEDs dock with built-in ethernet

It’s nice to have the option to buy a second dock for your Switch OLED, should you need an extra or a replacement. You could also pick one up if you’ve got a non-OLED Switch and your dock is getting to the point where it needs a replacement. Nintendo’s own FAQ says the OLED’s dock is compatible with the regular Switch, though you may need to do a software update to get full functionality.

If you want LAN, this is probably the dock to get

If you’re in need of a dock and you were planning on adding a LAN port anyway, going with the OLED dock seems like a no-brainer. Nintendo sells its first-party ethernet adapter for $30 on its own, and while you can find ones around the $10 mark, having an integrated one is certainly a cleaner solution.

If you need a dock and are looking to save a buck, you can grab a refurbished original model for a cool $40. Nintendo also sells a refurb of the Animal Crossing-themed dock for the same price if you’re feeling in the island mood. While these won’t include the LAN port, they are still compatible with the Switch OLED if you’re looking to pick up an extra dock for a secondary TV and don’t want to splurge on the version that came in the box.
