Nintendo 2110-3129 on Nintendo Switch: problem with the connection's DNS
Risk level
Low
Usually safe to check without specialist tools.
Urgency
Low
Quick answer
The console could not connect by cable or Wi-Fi and showed 2110-3129, which Nintendo links to DNS. Restart the console and review the DNS of the saved connection: if it is manual and your network does not need it, set it to automatic and test again.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- If you switch DNS to manual, note the original setting first so you can go back to it if the connection gets worse.
Safe checks you can perform
- Restart the console and review the DNS setting
- Restart the network and try an alternate DNS
- On Wi-Fi, move the console closer and remove interference

What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Network administrator
What they doIf the network requires a specific DNS address, that network's administrator must give it to you, as Nintendo says.
They must show youthe DNS address valid for that network.
In writingThe DNS to use and any access conditions of the network.
Router manufacturer
What they doIf the console still cannot connect, Nintendo refers you to the router's manufacturer to update the firmware or restore factory settings.
They must show youthe firmware version before and after.
In writingThe steps applied to the router and the date.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Restart the console and review the DNS setting
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- Restart the console (POWER three seconds > Power Options > Restart). Then open your saved connection's settings and look at the DNS section.
- Result that matters:
- Whether DNS is automatic or manual.
- If it is manual and your network does not need it:
- change it to automatic and test the connection.
- If your network requires a specific DNS:
- ask that network's administrator for the correct address.
- Evidence to keep:
- A photo of the DNS setting before and after the change.

Restart the network and try an alternate DNS
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- Restart the router and network devices. If it still fails, enter an alternate DNS manually in the console's connection.
- Result that matters:
- Whether the connection test passes with the alternate DNS.
- If it passes:
- the DNS you were using was not working.
- If it does not:
- wait and retry later, in case it is an internet service fault.
- Evidence to keep:
- The DNS servers tried and the result of each test.

On Wi-Fi, move the console closer and remove interference
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- Take the console out of the dock, place it 3 to 4 metres (10 to 15 feet) from the router and move metal objects and electronics such as speakers, power strips or cordless phones away.
- Result that matters:
- Whether the connection works under those conditions.
- If it works:
- signal or interference was involved.
- If not:
- the problem lies in the network environment or router, according to Nintendo.
- Evidence to keep:
- The distance tested and the objects moved.

What it means
Nintendo says 2110-3129 points to a possible DNS problem: a wrong DNS entered in the console's internet settings, or a fault with the internet provider or the DNS service. Its steps apply to cable and Wi-Fi: review the DNS setting, switch back to automatic if manual is not needed, restart the network, try an alternate DNS and retry later. On Wi-Fi it adds distance to the router and interference. The code does not indicate a console fault.
