Error Code: 2160-8056
Description:
- When attempting to connect online with your Nintendo Switch or attempting to download a game from the Nintendo eShop, error code 2160-8056 is displayed.
- Message: "Unable to connect. There is no response from the server. Please try again later."
Possible Solutions:
- Review the Network Maintenance Information/Operational Status page for the most up-to-date maintenance and server status information.
If the error persists, and there is no notice of Nintendo eShop maintenance, try again at a later time.
- Ensure your console has the latest system version.
If the console is already up to date, restart it by holding down the POWER Button for three seconds, then selecting "Power Options" > "Restart".
- Power cycle your home network.
Restarting your network devices may resolve this issue if it is related to the devices being unresponsive.
- Manually enter an alternate DNS.
If the DNS you are attempting to use is not working, entering an alternate DNS may resolve this issue.
- Move the Nintendo Switch console closer to the wireless router.
If possible, place the Nintendo Switch console within 10 to 15 feet of the wireless router to improve the signal strength during troubleshooting.
- It may be helpful to remove the Nintendo Switch console from the Nintendo Switch dock while troubleshooting, and then return the console when troubleshooting is complete.
- Move any metal objects or electronic devices away from your Nintendo Switch console and wireless router.
Metal objects and electronic devices may interfere with wireless signals. If you have any of these, such as filing cabinets, speakers, power strips, glass, or cordless phones, next to your console or wireless router, move them away.
- If supported by your router, connect to a different wireless band.
Many routers support both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequency bands. If your router supports both, set up a new internet connection and connect to the band you are not currently connecting to. Many routers will have default SSID names that label whether the connection is 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz, but if you're not sure, you can review this information within your router's settings.
- Try connecting to the internet using a different access point.
Situation Not Resolved:
If you are still unable to connect, this may indicate an issue related to the network environment or wireless router being used.
If you would like to continue troubleshooting potential issues related to the wireless router, contact the router's manufacturer for assistance with performing the following steps:
- Updating the wireless router's firmware
- Resetting the router back to its factory default settings
