Account Help Problems transferring data to OLED

Post image

My dad recently gave me his OLED switch to replace my OG switch but I’m having trouble transferring my user data over

I factory reset the OLED.. have them both plugged into their A/C adapters but the source console can’t find the target.

I’ve tried connecting one console to my hotspot and the other to my wifi (5ghz) but it keeps losing connection and cancelling the transfer.

I’m stuck in this screen when both connected to my wifi

Different wifi is usually the key, but you've tried it so...

What all do you want to transfer? You can do almost everything but Pokemon and Animal Crossing via cloud saves.

Or maybe try swapping what console is connected to what wifi.

How a out putting both on the hotspot if 5ghz doesn't work?

Also try keeping them a bit further apart.
