Switch > Connection Test
Nintendo provides the following connection test servers for the Nintendo Switch:
- http://ctest.cdn.nintendo.net
- http://ctest-dl-lp1.cdn.nintendo.net
- http://ctest-ul-lp1.cdn.nintendo.net
- https://api.hac.lp1.ctest.srv.nintendo.net
On the Switch 2, the following servers are used instead:
- http://ctest.p01.ctest.srv.nintendo.net
- http://ctest-ipv6.p01.ctest.srv.nintendo.net
- https://ctest-dl.p01.lp1.ctest.srv.nintendo.net
- https://ctest-ul.p01.lp1.ctest.srv.nintendo.net
- https://api.p01.lp1.ctest.srv.nintendo.net
The first server is used to check if the internet connection is working when you connect to a wifi network. The next two are used to measure your download and upload speed.
The last server was introduced in system version 18.0.0 and is a replacement for/v1/time
of theAAuth server.
