Lil question on wt to do

Yuni

So like, whenever I try getting into the nintendo browser, yk, the WiFi connection thing, while it's loading, it just says, "this feature is not available" and it's ALWAYS like that, is that just a problem from my side, nintendo's side or the browser's?

(I couldn't figure out which category to put this in, I've been studying the whole ahh day ;-;)

@Yuni check this thread for a potential workaround: https://browsedns.net/topic/16960/hold-up-i-think-i-figured-out-how-to-fix-this-feature-is-unavailable

@VGMoose weird how this has been up for 8 days and the moment I reply only then does people look at it.. js noticing that

Also it mentions you need to have facebook which some switch's don't have Facebook. certain can post to Facebook certain don't have Facebook and certain can access Facebook completely.

That's normal for forums! The new post 'bumps' it back the top of the Recents list: https://www.quora.com/What-does-bump-mean-in-an-internet-forum

Instead of Facebook, try this:

I got the "Feature is not available" screen with the DNS yesterday on my Switch 2, and can confirm that starting to watch a video (w/o the DNS) in the News applet removed it!

So in total:

Set DNS to automatic, or to Google DNS (8.8.8.8)

Watch a video in the News app, or open Facebook via the Album share applet

Set the DNS back to one of the BrowseDNS addresses

The theory is that that the browser needs to connect "normally" every so often, otherwise it refuses to be displayed. This is likely a security measure to make sure the device is properly up to date before connecting to external websites.

I've had this happen before, I watched a video on the news area on my nintendo switch lite, with the BrowseDNS code active, and it messed it up for a bit, it's just a very weird thing, But yeah, try doing what VG said!!
