Check the encryption method on your wireless security. Nintendo likes TKIP and apparently hates AES. I had to switch the encryption before my Switch could connect - it's lousy because the PS4 seems to hate TKIP and has shoddy connection, so now I had to buy an ethernet cable to connect the PS4 and still have my Switch connect to my router.


The switch doesn't recognize tkip!
With aes the connection appears but not connect with the router!

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

Do you know if it even connects to another router or is it a general problem?
Have you tried tethering from your smartphone and trying to connect to it?
Does it work? Can you connect to the internet this way?

Try resetting the internet connection on your Switch and restart the Switch if necessary, if it doesn't connect.

The problem could be related with the router!
I can connect with another routers, even with android.

I had this issue and it kept telling me to update. All i had to do was power off the switch, not sleep mode but fully off. After i turned it back on i was able to install update and connect

When I save the connection even if it's doesn't connect and back to Home menu, after some minutes it's work!

One of your errors is the same code they are giving 3DS who have been banned. If your ID as ever been used on a hack 3DS that just got banned, it may be the cause. Even if you don't have the 3DS anymore, I don't think it matters. Nintendo probably has a list of IDs and it most likely list any systems your ID has been used on.

That's the error I had in May. Power off and on or restart the Switch. It will then probably ask you to install an update. You can in most cases select no to it and the net connection should start working again.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
