How do I fix error code 2122-2503 on Nintendo Switch?

Before moving to the detailed troubleshooting steps to fix this connection error, make sure you go through these preliminary checks:

• Check the network status. If it is down, wait for a while before trying again; it could be a few hours to a day.
• Power off your console, unplug the router, wait for a few seconds, then plug it back in. Let the router restart, then turn on the console and try connecting to the internet. This also helps with connection issues in Splatoon 3.

1. Add the Wi-Fi network connection again

1. Open System settings on your console.
2. Locate and select Internet.
3. Click Internet Settings, then select View available networks.
4. Choose your Wi-Fi network and click Change Settings.
5. Scroll down and select Delete Settings.
6. Follow the prompt to confirm the action.

Now go to the available networks, select the Wi-Fi network, and enter the credentials to establish the connection.

2. Update the firmware

1. Go to the System Settings option from the main menu.
2. Next, select the System tab.
3. Under System, select System Update and follow the on-screen steps to complete the process.

3. Reset your router

NOTE

These steps will erase the personalized Wi-Fi settings, including your Wi-Fi name and password or even the internet plan you have subscribed to. So, follow these steps only if you know how to configure the router.

1. Ensure your router is plugged in, then look for a reset button. Usually, it is a small hole either at the back, where all the ports are, or at the bottom.
2. Take a paperclip or pin and insert it in the hole to hold the Reset button for about 30 seconds.
3. Release the button and wait for the router to turn back on.

Once done, the router will be as good as new. Now configure it, then try using the internet on your Nintendo Switch to check if it works.

Resetting a router can be a great help if you can’t connect to it on your devices, including Windows 10 computers.

4. Contact the Nintendo support team

If, even after several hours of wait, a smooth internet connection, and updated firmware, you are stuck with error code 2122-2503 on Nintendo Switch, we recommend you contact customer support.

Explain to them the issue, how it occurred, and what steps you took; all these details will help them understand it better.

Remember that this error code usually occurs when the server or network status is down due to technical issues or maintenance; however, if everything is working on the server’s end, the problem could be your network.
