What is this error?
Error 2101-0001 on the Nintendo Switch typically indicates a network issue that prevents the console from connecting to the Nintendo eShop or other online services. It may arise due to problems with your internet connection or the Nintendo servers themselves.

- Restart Your Nintendo Switch: Power off your console completely, then turn it back on. This can resolve various temporary connectivity issues.
- Restart Your Router: Unplug your modem and router from power for about 30 seconds. Plug them back in and allow them to reconnect to the internet.
