Nintendo Switch NAT Traversal Process Has Failed

Error Code 2618-0513 on switch when trying to join other players online. I can connect by hotspot from my phone (Verizon) and it works fine. I have tried all of the manual IP addresses and everything...

    Copied from above that I verified worked for me: 

    And finally if the other 2 options fail then time to change the DNS setting on the switch. Go to system settings → internet   → internet settings → select your internet network→  change settings→  DNS SETTINGS switch it from automatic to manual. 
    You will have to enter new DNS settings here Primary and Secondary. The first set of DNS is : -> Primary DNS 008.008.008.008                         Secondary DNS 008.008.004.004               If this set of DNS doesn’t work for you then try this next set: -> Primary DNS 001.001.001.001                            Secondary DNS 001.000.000.001

      Which DNS addresses did you use? I tried both and neither worked for me. This has been a known issue with T-Mobile for a long time and they don't seem to care. They are fully aware there's a problem and have zero intention of doing anything about it.
