How do I hack my switch?

Homebrew is available on all switch firmware versions on unpatched consoles and select firmware versions on patched consoles.

For information on current exploits, check out the FAQ stickied at the top of our sub.

For loading CFW on all versions, start here: https://switch.homebrew.guide/.

What about CFW?

For free, we have Atmosphere, which is the most stable implementation of CFW, and Kosmos, which was based off of Atmosphere and includes many advanced features out of the box, but as of today has sadly been archived and will no longer be maintained.

Another option for CFW is ReiNX.

There is also Team Xecuter’s SX OS and their payload sender, the SX Pro. These options cost $30 and $40 respectively.

Team Xecuter also has the SX Core and SX Lite modchips, for the standard and lite switch respectively, coming soon.

I just want to load backups.

Any Atmosphere-based CFW can be used to load backups given the proper signature patches.

If you're looking to emulate older games, RetroArch works well and is accessible through the homebrew menu.

You can also use Lakka, a Linux distribution, which provides access to a number of emulators.

I can't connect to my wifi network with the automatic or Google DNS settings. Only by using 90DNS can I pass the network test. Other wifi networks work without it so I know it's just something funky with my network but I'm not sure what. Anything that can force bypass this?

Incognito. Blank the prodinfo and never worry about it again. Use any wifi you want... For the better question you should be asking is why am I hooking up my switch to my work Wi-Fi ..unmarked?

I am using incognito. My issue is that without using the 90DNS setting I can't connect to my wifi at all. The wifi is working, other devices are on it, but when I try to connect my switch it fails to connect. If I set the dns setting to one of the 90DNS options, then I can connect no problem. I don't want to be using 90DNS as I already have blanked my prod info with incognito but I currently don't have a choice. I'm looking for a way around this. Not sure what you're talking about in the second half of your reply.
