Ethernet Switch an FRITZ!Repeater 2400 anschließen?
Ich wohne in der oberen Etage eines Hauses und habe hier lediglich einen FRITZ! Repeater 2400, während der Router selbst unten im Haus steht. Obwohl die Entfernung jetzt nicht gerade wenig ist, kann ich mich bei meinem PC, welcher mit LAN am einzigen Port des Repeaters hängt, wirklich nicht beklagen.
Letztens habe ich aber mal wieder meine Nintendo Switch ausgepackt und diese verfügt ohne weiteres nicht über einen LAN Anschluss. Fazit: war alles nicht besonders spaßig.
Meine Frage ist nun, ob es sich realistisch lohnen würde einen Ethernet Switch zu kaufen, diesen an den Repeater anzuschließen und dann mithilfe des 40€ Nintendo Switch LAN Adapters eine LAN Verbindung herzustellen?

That should be something, maybe not much.
But purely theoretically, you would save WLan once through the cable replacement through the Repeater to Switch route (the console) and that will be better.
But if that makes so much that you notice that, or your bottleneck is different, you will only find out by trying out.
But with this nem switch you don’t do anything wrong:

That’s not a problem, you can do it. However, consider that you will normally not have a better ping/data throughput in the lan, as you are still dependent on the WLAN connection from the repeater to the router. Did you have placed the switch very far away from the repeater so that it might not be connected to the WLAN from the repeater but from the router? This has always happened to me, some devices have chosen the worse connection with a 7490 functioning as a repeater, instead of with my WLAN 6 repeater, where the full performance was present in the place.
The switch is now right next to the repeater, but I had the problem before. Nevertheless, it is rather unstable.
Do you really think it won’t make a big difference? I mean, at least, the wireless connection between Repeater and Nintendo Switch will drop off.
I would first recommend to look into the Fritzbox at the point Network mesh with which values the 2400s are connected. In addition, you can ping the Fritzbox in the Lan on the 2400er with a device, then you also have this value. If you like the values so far, you can spend the 40 euros and test it, it will definitely work if it gets better.
Switch wouldn’t be a problem in your case.
I am more concerned about whether it would be worthwhile or whether I can achieve a more stable connection.
Just as stable as with the PC, but always only as stable as it produces the WLAN connection. Whether this is better than with Wi-Fi for the Nintendo you can’t say, you have to try, I think.
LAN would in principle be better because then not use two devices, namely Repeater and Nintendo, WLAN, but only the Repeater.
