Doesn't work on Nintendo Switch!

Does not work on Nintendo Switch! I've bought everything from Anker over the last few years, so naturally when I needed a USB to Ethernet adapter I went with the latest model that Anker had to offer. Plugged into the internal USB port on the back of the switch dock, no connection! Moved it to any USB on the side of the docking station, no connection! I then plugged it into my computer and my computer recognized it. I then had to plug it into my Chromebook to get to the ethernet cable and it connected flawlessly. Tried again on switch, nothing. Then, for a laugh, I unplugged the old Nyko adapter from my 3.5 year old WiiU, plugged in the anchor, but there's no connection! There appear to be small indicators on the top of the device (green/red maybe?). Not once did any of these indicators light up when the device was connected to anything. However, there was a faint red light in the Ethernet port. Now I see when I search Revain for "Nintendo Switch Ethernet Adapter", Anker isn't even on the first page of results (didn't go any further). I don't really understand as most others are USB 3.0 etc. Technically I'm sure it's a good product but it didn't work for my purpose and I think it should definitely be disclosed if it doesn't work on system videos games.
