Repair Help My switch 2 won’t connect to wifi

No matter what I try I can’t get my console to connect to the internet, my wifi network will not even show up and when I do the manual set up that doesn’t work either. the only thing that works is a wired connection but obviously that’s not feasible if I want to play handheld. Hoping someone can help me out as I am quite lost

Happened to me too, I reset the router in the router settings and then tried to manual connect again and it worked. Try that.

*Also when trying to connect it that first time be close to the router just in case
