According to Nintendo's official news released on May 9, Nintendo's network is suddenly in an error state, and the network state will be updated on the NS website in various regions, but it has not yet been restored. So far, the specific recovery time of Nintendo network has not been determined, but it is believed to be resolved in a short time. Besides, for those who can't find your network, new Nintendo gamers can try the following methods.

If you are still in the Internet settings, you can press Y to have the Nintendo switch host search the network.

After making any changes to the Nintendo switch host or network environment, perform this search on the network.

Please follow the steps below:

(1) Restart the host, press the power key for 3 seconds, then select power options, then restart

(2) Place the Nintendo switch host within 1 meter of the wireless router to improve the signal strength during troubleshooting

(3) Restart network device

(4) Move any metal object or electronic device away from your Nintendo switch host and wireless router

(5) Check the settings of the wireless router and make sure SSID (network name) is enabled and searchable

(6) The security types supported by Nintendo switch host include WEP, wpa-psk (AES) and wpa2-psk (AES). If your router uses different security types (such as WPA PSK (TKIP), you need to change to the security type supported by Nintendo switch host in router settings

(7) If the host cannot find the SSID, manually enter the SSID and wireless password of the network into the Internet settings of the Nintendo switch host.

If the above steps still do not solve the problem, try to update the firmware of the wireless router and reset the wireless router to the factory state.

Is the above method of connecting to the network useful to you? Welcome to leave a message. If you still don't have access to the Internet, you are advised to call or send email information to Nintendo. Find a professional to help you.
