Error code 2110-3127 is an error you may encounter if the Switch is having an issue connecting to a wired or wireless network. When the Switch tries to connect to the internet, there are a lot of checks that need to be performed. These checks include DNS, connectivity, and more.

What Causes the Nintendo Switch Error Code 2110-2137?
The reason you may end up with the error code along with a message that reads “Connection test failed. Could not perform DNS name resolution. Please try again later” is due to an issue with the DNS. It may not be working or the encryption type within the specified wireless network may not be working.
Here are a few reasons why this error code may be popping up:
1.Incorrect DNS Setting
DNS is essentially the heart of your internet access. It is meant to resolve the name of various websites for the console to gain access to it. If this doesn’t work, you won’t be able to get a connection to the web.
2.Invalid Security Protocol
Several users have reported that their ISP was incorrect. If the WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK are not set on the network, but on your device, you will get the error.
3.Improper Switch Configurations
Since the Switch keeps tabs on all configurations made through network access, if any are outdated or bad, you may get the error message.
Methods for Fixing Error Code 2110-2137
Before you try any of these methods, the first thing to check off the list is your internet connection. Are you connected? Check the connectivity from another device. If you can access the internet as you normally would, this means you can rule out limited connectivity. Additionally, if you are using wifi from a public place, such as a hotel, they usually put up a firewall that denies access to certain requests.

- Locate the network that you are trying to use to connect
Select DNS settings

Click security in the network settings
Select WPA-PSK rather than WPA2-PSK
Choose a password
Save the settings
Go back into settings
Switch back to WPA2-PSK
Enter the password
Save changes and exitTry to connect to the network again to see if the issue is solved. If not, move on to method 4.
Method 4: Try Using the Guest Wifi
If none of the above solutions have helped you thus far, try switching to the guest WiFi through your internet. This could solve the problem.
- You will have to follow the instructions for your specific router to gain access to the guest WiFi. Generally, you would have to enter the URL for your router, enter your username and password, click the guest WiFi settings, and change as needed. After you change the settings based on your specific router, go back to the Switch and delete any saved information that is connected to the network. Restart your Switch and connect it to the newly added guest WiFi and see if the issue is resolved.
Method 5: Network Troubleshooting
If you are still seeing error code 2110-3127, then you need to troubleshoot your network further. You most likely have an issue within the network you are trying to connect to. You should first try to connect another device to the same network the Switch is on and verify that it is working correctly. If it’s not, then it’s time to troubleshoot. You could also try to connect your Switch to another router or network. If the issue is resolved, this means there is an issue with your network. It could be an ISP or Firewall issue. If nothing seems to work, update your router’s firmware or reset it to its factory defaults.
