Ethernet to USB adapters exist and are fairly cheap.
I use one for online games and it probably isn't as good as direct Ethernet but it's way more stable than WiFi is.
And as for when you were home, your home WiFi network presumably had fewer people connecting to it, so more bandwidth was available to you and your lowest connection speed was good enough.
I think the problem might be the ethernet adapter. I don't have that adapter, but it looks like the USB 2.0 version doesn't work with the Switch; you want the USB 3.0 version.
EDIT: Yeah, I definitely think it's your adapter. Look at all the reviews that mention the Switch on the USB 2.0 version versus the USB 3.0 version
It's a lot of things - but your internet is likely a component. The poor netcode quality of nintendo's first party games (and I love smash but it's worse than 90s era netcode) and the poor quality of the networking, and especially the wifi chip itself all go together with what might otherwise be a good enough network for online play.
Job number one is to go wired if you are playing docked. The adapters are cheap and you do not need a nintendo official one - this one will work just dandy.
Wireless inherently loses packets and isn't perfect and is higher latency than wired. If you can go wired at all, do it. If you want to go further, with typical home network infrastructure your best bet to reduce as much routing/fuckery as possible is to give your switch a static IP and then in your router set it as the DMZ - this will allow it to communicate directly to the internet, remove the need to ever forward ports and remove all routing components entirely - it's about as direct a connection as you can get, and most consumer routers support this. If you are using a "router" or all in one/gateway unit your ISP provided, knock that off. Ask them to put it in bridge mode and hook up your own router. I used a cheap ASUS router for a very long time and it worked just great - and lets you have a ton of control over your network. This often isn't possible with ISP provided equipment.
My current network setup is much more complicated, including a couple thousand dollars of very high end enterprise-grade access points in a mesh network. It's incredibly high quality and I still don't game on wireless for anything competitive because wifi always adds some latency and some jitter/packet loss/inconsistency.
But even on the absolute best possible connection, connected to someone else with the best possible connection, you'll still have issues. Sometimes smash is shitty with a buddy of mine with a similar setup for no explicable reason. And it's p2p so the only remaining issue is either network fuckery with the switch/netcode itself, or fuckery with our local ISP, but testing doesn't reveal any issues when it's happening.
So the moral of the story - there is a lot you can do to improve it, but it'll never, ever be perfect. It sucks and there are a lot of reasons for it but it's still worth some effort to make it better if you game a lot - it'll help with everything, on other consoles and PC as well.
I switch the adapter connected to the laptop to this one (older 2.0 version) and now my results are this.
Is this enough for a good connection, or I would need to have better?
I did some research for you. What you want is a laser printer that has an ethernet connection. That is so you can plug it in to your buildings network. The HP LaserJet Pro M118dw will do that and it is only 99 bucks still under budget! It has Google Cloudprint as well.
But here is my question how are you getting the chromebook on the internet? Does it have an ethernet port on it?

So you can get a chromebook an adaptor printer and two extra toner cartridges and still be under budget.
Hey,
I don't see a need for a refurbished laptop.
How about the ASUS Vivobook F510UA? It has:
The Vivobooks are decently built. This laptop has the latest i5 processor. It has plenty of ports, except no Ethernet or DVD/CD, you can buy external ones like this Ethernet adaptor and DVD/CD external. Sadly, no backlit keyboard. The OS is Windows 10 Home.
I picked up a ten pack of these USB NICs (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M77HLII/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_okn4BbTSTT2EB). I created OUs called enroll1, enroll2, etc. I created a correlated user account for each and adjusted the settings to drop the enrolled device in the same OU as the user account. I simply connect the usb nic and enroll. If I’m enrolling shared carts, I will enroll the entire cohort with the same enrollment account and move them all into their final resting place (OU) before I move on to the next cohort of devices. Quick and clean. I spend more time unboxing and stacking garbage than I do enrolling Chromebooks.
This ethernet adapter works and gets an IP address.
However network traffic doesn't seem to be routed through it.
There might be some app out there than can enable the routing policies that seem to be missing.
I have an AmazonBasics usb2 100Mb adapter. No problem so far.

Yes, but it will only work when docked or if you have an ethernet to usb c dongle. Here's a basic one from Amazon. Is it beneficial, it's up to you. If you are having problems with a wireless connection, then yes, it is beneficial. But if the wifi is fine, then there is no reason unless you want the best possible internet for games like Splatoon.
