Anyone familiar with Error Code: 2160-8007? I'm able to connect to my wifi but I'm not getting a response from the server/failing Test Connection. I changed the Primary DNS to 8.8.8.8 and the Secondary DNS to 8.8.4.4.

TIPS TO IMPROVE WIFI CONNECTION

§ The Switch's Wifi connection is quite weak, thus it always has issue to reach the maximum speed limit of your Internet connection. You can check the connection quality by going into Home screen > System Settings > Internet > Test Connection. To improve it, you can try these steps below:

1. Delete your Wifi connection from the Switch.
Home screen > System Settings > Internet > Internet Settings > Choose your network > Clear Settings
2. Restart your Switch by Holding the Power button until the Power option menu appear > Choose Restart.
3. Restart your router/modem by cycling its power (Turning off then on again).
4. Bring your Switch closer to the router/modem then connect to the Wifi again.
5. Add DNS to your Switch's Wifi settings. Type !tag dns for details.

￮ Aside from this, you can try:
･ Using a different waveband for your Wifi, 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz.
･ Changing password and security settings (Yes, it's weird)
･ Change the channel your Wifi is broadcasting on. Automatic mode is often not very good.
･ Set a static IP address for your Switch, following the DHCP setting on your router. Google these details to learn how.
