Wired

• Restart the Nintendo Switch console. Hold the POWER Button down for three seconds, and then select Power Options followed by Restart.
• Check the DNS settings within the console’s Internet settings. Access the settings for your saved Internet connection, and review the DNS settings.
  • If this setting is set to manual but is not required for your network, change this setting to Automatic.
  • If you are required to use a specific DNS address due to the type of network you are using, please contact the administrator for the network you are attempting to use.
• Power cycle your home network. Restarting your network devices may resolve this issue if it is related to the devices being unresponsive.
• Manually enter an alternate DNS. If the DNS you are attempting to use is not working, entering an alternate DNS may resolve this issue.
• Try again at a later time. If this error is due to an issue with your Internet service, you may need to wait a while and try again at a later time.

If you are still unable to connect, this may indicate an issue related to the network environment or router being used.
