  • Make sure your Nintendo device is not too far from your Wi-Fi.
  • Make sure there are no metal or electronic devices present between your wifi and your Nintendo device.

Fix 6: Check Your Router Settings

If the error still persists then access your router settings and inspect all the settings. And if in case you find any setting which might create such issues then consider changing it or disabling it.

Especially check if MAC filtering is enabled, if yes then it can block unallowed devices from connecting to your network.


Fix 7: Connect With Any Other Internet Connection

If everything is okay with your router settings but the error continues then try using any alternate internet connection.

You can use any alternate Wifi connection or a mobile hotspot.

If connecting to an alternate Wifi connection is fixing the error then you need to get in touch with your ISP to report this issue, so they can help you to resolve the issue.

But if in case you still have the error over the alternate internet connection then get in touch with Nintendo Support.
