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.
Undock the console and move it closer to the router
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- remove the console from the dock and place it 10 to 15 feet (3 to 5 metres) from the wireless router. Test the connection.
- Result that matters:
- whether the online feature works closer to the router.
- If it works:
- signal at the usual position is the issue.
- If it fails:
- update, restart and create a new connection, testing after each one.
- Evidence to keep:
- the distance and the test result.

Update, restart, create a new connection, restart the network and enter an alternate DNS
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- update the system; if already up to date, restart the console. Create a new internet connection, restart the home network and manually enter an alternate DNS. Test after each change.
- Result that matters:
- which change, if any, makes the feature work.
- If one change fixes it:
- keep that setting.
- If none does:
- test at another location.
- Evidence to keep:
- the order of changes and each result.

Connect at another location or access point
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- connect the console at a friend or family member's home, or a shop with a public network, and try the same feature.

- whether it works on another network.
- If it works there:
- Nintendo says the issue is likely your network environment or router.
- If it fails there too:
- note both results before contacting Nintendo support.
- Evidence to keep:
- the networks tested and the results.
