Restart the console and home network
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- Restart the console (POWER three seconds > Power Options > Restart), then turn the router and network devices off and on.
- Result that matters:
- Whether the next online matches stay connected.
- If they do not drop:
- it was a temporary connection fault.
- If 2110-4116 returns:
- move on to the band and the signal.
- Evidence to keep:
- The time of each drop and of the restart.

Switch band and move the console closer
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- If the router has 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, create a new connection on the band you were not using. Move the console within 10 to 15 feet of the router, out of the dock, and move metal objects and electronics away.
- Result that matters:
- Whether the drops stop.
- If they stop:
- band or signal was the cause.
- If they continue:
- try an alternate DNS.
- Evidence to keep:
- The band used, the distance and the number of drops in each test.

Try an alternate DNS
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- In the console's connection settings, enter an alternate DNS manually and play online again.
- Result that matters:
- Whether matches still drop.
- If they stop dropping:
- the previous DNS was failing.
- If they continue:
- Nintendo points to the network environment or router.
- Evidence to keep:
- The DNS used and the result.

What it means
Nintendo describes 2110-4116 as a disconnection during an online match with the message that the connection with the network device was lost. It puts it down to the wireless network or internet connection dropping or timing out. Its steps act on the console (restart), the home network (restart, other 2.4 or 5 GHz band, alternate DNS) and the signal (distance and interference). If it persists, it points to the network environment or the router, not the console.
