I was unable to connect to the homebrew app store and the AIO updater app also complained about not having an internet connection. After spending an hour or so investigating my network (I thought that it may have been some sort of issue with my Pi-Hole or Unbound configuration since I recently swapped out my Pi-Hole and Unbound server from a netbook to a thin client), I opted to boot into my 'clean' emuMMC and attempt to access the homebrew app store without 90DNS. It worked. After applying 90DNS settings, the app exhibited symptoms of DNS resolving issues. I checked my secondary Nintendo Switch to see if the issue was client specific. The secondary Switch was able to access the homebrew app store with 90DNS. I then compared the 90DNS configuration settings between my two consoles and noticed that the primary and secondary DNS addresses were swapped. I matched the 90DNS configuration to that of the console that did not have DNS resolving issues.

To make a long story short, I was apparently having DNS resolving issues with the following configuration for the Americas:

Primary DNS: 207.246.121.77
Secondary DNS: 163.172.141.219

This was solved by setting my DNS configuration to the following for everywhere else:

Primary DNS: 163.172.141.219
Secondary DNS: 207.246.121.77

I'm assuming this means there is an issue with the DNS server at 207.246.121.77. I suppose my homework assignment for tomorrow is to do more reading on primary and secondary DNS servers to have a better understanding why merely swapping them fixed this issue.

Hopefully this will spare someone else a bit of headache if they also experience this same issue.

I have set my primary to the 163 line and secondary to the 207. Tester shows Nintendo servers are blocked when when running the Test Connection that fails. Trying to get it so I can install Tinfoil. But I get the error code 2155-8007. Do you know why my connection test fails? I notice that on the secondary DNS where I enter the .77 at the end, my Switch automatically makes it .077? Is that normal? Total noob here 😐

Thanks for any help in advance.

See if updating your Sigpatches helps:

Dude thanks so much! I tried everything, updating fw, atmosphere, then doing the latest incognito setup, then asking AIO developers if sth was wrong. I was about to remove 90dns, because as of 2023 I read it is a really outdated method and not recommended anymore, but your post helped me! I'll leave it like that just because it adds an additional protection layer, but in case in the future I get network errors again I'll just leave the dns on auto.
