  1. How can you use the eShop if you're banned?
  2. Did you just say no to logging into Nintendo's website because you didn't check or because it throws an error when you try logging in?
  3. CDN bans prevent system updates. If you don't get any error trying to update your system, you do not have a CDN ban
Well I'm sorry, I speak Spanish and a little English, so maybe I was wrong in those questions.

1 I thought the question was about whether I had tried to use the eshop when they banned me. But translating the question well, I should have put a no there, I really am sorry.

2 In this question, the truth did not know very well to answer, because at the time of updating Skyrim, I had no linked account, so I answered no. But, now reviewing the accounts that I once linked to my switch, I find that I can log in with all of them.

3 Ok, then I'll wait for the next update because I'm already in the last one. Thanks anyway for the information.

i know this question has been asked before, but i cant actually find any straight answers to it. my switch is banned from eshop, and i cant update games, so i assume that its a cdn ban. But ive heard of other people being able to update their games on a banned switch. since im on 6.1.0 i cant try to update my firmware to see if i AM cdn banned, but if im not cdn banned, how can i update my games without elevating to a cdn ban?

CDN bans prevent system updates. Initially, soft bans restricted access to the eShop and online play but recently, Nintendo blocked game updates for soft bans.

You can't update your games online once you're banned so the only way for you to update your games are by downloading and installing updates in .NSP format

I have 2 switches, 1 is using an SxOS and is mostly likely banned (havent been online in a while), and 1 which has not touched CFW or any homebrew,
I have some purchased games from the eshop on the account linked to the cfw switch, will linking it to my clean switch risk a ban on the clean one??

after months offline
I updated OFW 5.1.0 > OFW 6.1.0
restore my nand (17h40>18h23), (since the purchase of the switch restores 6 times the not banned nand,I find the system much more reactive with 2 games on nand, than on cfw with 140 games xci and nsp),restart, remove the plane mode, nintendo warns me of the update 6.1.0, do you want to install the update? I answer yes, she says ok, I will restart your console after the update ofw 6.1.0 of the finished console, it restarts, I am in ofw 6.1,update available of the joycon, want you install it?I answer yes, I have two games in my nand, fortnite, and palladins, I click on fortnite, update the mandatory game, I say yes I download it, while waiting for the console asks me to link an account? I answer yes, it's done, well the process is fun for a person who has played 140 games in cfw,sxos pro 2.2.1, and starts with sxos 1.2, my nand is clean since June, my purchased console has the firmware ofw 5.10,now ofw 6.10, it's time to backup this new nand ,which has for the moment access to the eshop, I could link an account, I download in ofw a fortnite update, everything goes well for me, so I'll put the plane mode to redo a dump of nand 6.1.0, then take advantage of my hdd on sxos pro 2.2.1 in cfw stealth mode, good route switch owners.

i dont know, was bought my switch from 28/10. And now have ban with error 2124-4007 only after install nsp :D
It is not to restore your own nand before you connect ofw which makes you banned, not the installation of nsp specifically...

Is there a reliable way to test if a switch console is banned? Testing it sounds dangerous.

It got me thinking: If the youtube app doesn't work on banned Switchs, but work on unbanned ones using 90dns. Could it be a reliable way to test it? And it is possible that there is any danger on doing so?

No, the YouTube app doesn't work with 90DNS.
