How do I set up NordVPN for a Nintendo Switch with my router?
NordVPN Nintendo Switch and router together — console, router, phone. Here is the exact route for each one, taken from the official setup pages.
Your device checklist
Each device gets its own route. Nothing left to figure out.
| Device | How it connects | Steps |
|---|---|---|
| console | via your router | 3 |
| router | via your router | 3 |
| phone | Official app | 1 |
| smart TV | via your router | 1 |
Add them in any order — the account stays the same.
Three steps and you're live
Do them once; the apps keep it on from there.
