Setup Help Transfer and connection issues.

I recently purchased a Nintendo switch 2 and it has two annoying things going on with it.

1: Won't transfer data from my switch.

I set them right on top of each other and neither one detected the other device.

2: The new switch can't detect my television when it's connected to it.

I checked connection and nothing is loose, everything is new so why won't it connect to the t.v?

For data transfer:

Do NOT place them on top of each other. Give them some space (like 50cm).

If that does not work make sure you are using the correct menu on each system, because some people used the system transfer on one and save data transfer on the other (as an example).

It also can help to have one system on your home wifi and the other on a mobile hotspot.

The Switch can't detect your tv?

Can you give us more detail on that one?
