Nintendo eShop: Downloads are very slow - that may be the reason
This practical tip shows you what you can do if your downloads in Nintendo eShop are slow.
Slow downloads in Nintendo eShop: you can do that
- One reason for slow downloads in Nintendo eShop can be server overload. Especially with new releases, many users access a game at the same time, which is why there are server failures or a long loading time.
- Your bandwidth may also be busy because there are too many people in your household on the Internet.
- Also make sure you have properly set up Internet settings on the Wii.
- You can try unplugging the router for 10 seconds and then turning it on again. Many problems can be solved in this way.
- The servers may have failed, which is why the download is currently on hold. Please try again later.
- To improve speed, do not place the console too far from the router. Otherwise it does not get the full bandwidth, which can lead to slow downloads.
- You can also try to set the "802.11g" WLAN standard in your router. See your router's manual for details.
- Of course, it can also happen that your internet connection is busy or you may have used up your data volume and have been throttled.
- If the previous tips don't help, contact your provider or Nintendo for further assistance.
