Nintendo Switch Online error 2618-0513
Match-making fails on the current network
Match-making with other players fails. Nintendo says the network is not good for peer to peer play, because of the provider, slow speeds or the NAT type.
How to fix error 2618-0513
Try match-making again; it may work on a second try.
Switch to a different network with a recommended internet service; hotspots and 5G can block peer to peer play.
Check your NAT type and follow Nintendo's match-making steps for it.
If another network works, ask your internet provider what blocks peer to peer on yours.
