Solving Nintendo Switch Error Codes 2124-8006 and 2124-8007
If you're a Nintendo Switch player who has been experiencing issues when trying to link your account to your console, you've probably come across error codes 2124-8006 or 2124-8007. These codes indicate a problem with your internet connection, whether it's wireless or wired. But don't worry, in this video, we'll explore various ways to solve this pesky problem and restore your connection to the Nintendo eShop and other online services.
Diagnosing the Problem
Error codes 2124-8006 and 2124-8007 generally indicate a problem with the DNS (Domain Name System) being used or a disrupted connection. This can be caused by a slow internet connection, wireless interference, weak Wi-Fi signal from the router, or even issues with network devices.
It's important to note that if you're using a Nintendo Switch dock without an Ethernet port, you'll need a USB LAN adapter to establish a wired connection. Additionally, in the case of the Nintendo Switch Lite, you'll need a licensed accessory like the HORI Dual USB Playstand to connect a LAN adapter.
Solutions for Wireless Connections
1. Restart the Nintendo Switch: Hold the power button for 3 seconds and select "Power Options" and "Restart".
2. Establish a new internet connection: Set up a new connection, making sure you're using the correct network and that the wireless signal is strong.
3. Manually input an alternate DNS: If the DNS you're using isn't working, trying a different DNS may resolve the issue.
4. Bring the Nintendo Switch closer to the router: Position the console within 3-4 meters of the router to improve the signal strength.
5. Restart your local network: Rebooting network devices can help resolve issues related to them.
6. Remove metal and electronic objects: Metal objects and other electronic devices can interfere with the wireless signal.
7. Try a different signal band: If your router supports it, try connecting to a 2.4GHz or 5GHz band.
Solutions for Wired Connections
1. Restart the Nintendo Switch: Follow the same process described for wireless connections.
2. Restart your local network: Again, rebooting network devices can help resolve issues related to them.
3. Manually input an alternate DNS: If the DNS you're using isn't working, try a different DNS.
4. Check the connection on other devices: Ensure other devices on the network have internet access. If not, there may be an issue with the network or the internet service provider.
If none of these solutions work, there may be an issue related to the router. In this case, contact the product manufacturer for additional assistance, such as updating the firmware or resetting the router to factory settings.
