From time to time, Nintendo’s servers may experience issues, but before assuming that the problem lies with them, it’s important to rule out any potential connectivity issues on your end.
To start, ensure that your internet connection is working and that your Nintendo Switch is properly connected to it. You can easily confirm if your internet is functioning by using another device on the same network and checking if it can access the internet without any problems. If you’re connected to Wi-Fi but still unable to access the web, it is likely that the issue is with your internet connection. In that case, you may need to reset your router or contact your internet service provider for assistance.

If your internet is working fine, follow these steps on your Nintendo Switch:

1. Navigate to the System Settings.
2. Scroll down and select Internet.
3. In the Internet Settings menu, you should see your connection listed at the top, marked with a blue checkmark if properly connected. If not, follow the on-screen instructions to establish a connection.
4. Even if you see the checkmark, it is still recommended to scroll down and select ‘Test Connection.’ This will verify if your Switch is properly interfacing with your internet network.

It is also important to consider the placement of your Wi-Fi router. Make sure it is positioned in a location where your Nintendo Switch can receive a strong and stable connection.
