    help!! my Switch Lite used to connect to online multiplayer fine. Now:

    Can't connect to the server.

    Can't connect to the server.
The server may be busy, or your network connection
may have been lost. Try again later.
Connection test:  Internet  Failed

    nothing chnaged on my side as far as I know, except maybe a router update, im on a mesh network... where do ppl usually start?

    Im happy to try settings changes and report back 馃敟 i just wanna be able to play online again without restarting everything every time.

    game night is in two days, and i realy dont wanna be the one who cant join.. lol any ideas are welcome, even basic ones.

    Run System Settings > Internet > Test Connection and check the NAT type. NAT type A or B is usually fine for most games. C, D or F can cause exactly this. good luck man!

    on hotspots and shared networks, connection problems are common 馃槫 if you can, test on a home network to check that teh console itself is fine.

    oof check the official network status page for maintennace or outages.. lol if a service is down, teh console shows a generic error that looks like a local problem. good luck man!

    yeahhh in the connection settings for ur network, u can try changing the MTU value to 1500 in Change Settings > MTU. It fixes some connection issues with certain routers.

    sometimes the issue is just the Wi-Fi band. on some routers, switching between 2.4 and 5 GHz fixes it instantly. but hey ymmv
