Here are 15 detailed troubleshooting steps to fix Error Code 2110-2003 on Nintendo Switch:

1. Restart your Nintendo Switch - Hold the Power button for 3-5 seconds, select Turn Off Console and restart. A simple restart fixes many minor issues.

2. Check if the error shows up on other networks - Try connecting to your phone's hotspot or another Wi-Fi network. If it still shows the error, proceed to the steps below. If it connects, check your Wi-Fi network settings.

3. Double check your Wi-Fi password - Go to Settings → Wi-Fi, select your network and re-enter the password carefully. An incorrect or changed password is a common reason for this error.

4. Manually enter your Wi-Fi password - If your Wi-Fi login has special characters, manually enter the password instead of selecting from the auto-suggest. This avoids any password entry issues.

5. Move closer to your Wi-Fi router - Check if the Wi-Fi signal strength improves near the router. If yes, you may need a Wi-Fi range extender to boost coverage.

6. Disable Wi-Fi security and try again - Change your Wi-Fi security from WPA3 to WPA2 or disable it altogether temporarily. Connect and then re-enable the security.

7. Renew your Wi-Fi DHCP lease - Go to Wi-Fi settings on your router and renew the DHCP lease time. This refreshes the IP addresses in the network, fixing any conflicts.

8. Manually configure a static IP address - Disable DHCP on your Switch, select No and enter an unused IP address in your router's range. Reboot Switch and router.

9. Restart other connected devices - Any IP/network issues with other devices like phones, tablets, laptops can cause this error. Restart them and the router.

10. Restart just your Wi-Fi router - Power cycle your Wi-Fi router and any extenders. Wait 2 mins and try connecting again. This refreshes network settings and firmware.

11. Update your Wi-Fi router firmware - Outdated router firmware can sometimes cause connectivity problems. Update to the latest version if available for your router model.

12. Check for router firmware rollback option - Some routers let you rollback to an older firmware version. Try rolling back to a previous stable version.

13. Temporary switch your Wi-Fi channel or bandwidth - If there are many networks around, change to a less crowded channel and bandwidth like 20MHz for testing. Switch back once the error resolves.

14. Do a hard reset of your Wi-Fi router to factory defaults - As a last resort, you can hard reset your router to erase all settings. You will need to reconfigure network settings after this step. Only try if other options fail.

15. Contact Nintendo Support - If all else fails, get in touch with Nintendo Support https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/.
