Even though there is no fix, there are methods you can use to alleviate the problem for a short while, but these are akin to fixing the issue via a secondhand means instead of fixing the source itself.

• Restart Splatoon 3
  • A new connection is formed to the Splatoon 3 servers by restarting, which may fix this error for a time.
• Turn off unnecessary devices using WiFi
  • The Nintendo Switch does not have excellent wireless capabilities so ensure everything unnecessary that uses WiFi is switched off when playing Splatoon 3.
• Use an ethernet connection to the Switch
  • An ethernet connection is much more stable than using WiFi, however, only the OLED Switch Dock has this functionality. You can buy ethernet adapters or third-party docks that solve this issue but will not be officially licensed by Nintendo.

As we said, these will not 100% fix the communication issue in Splatoon 3 but should help give you some time before the error appears again. The best thing to do is to keep an eye on Spatoon 3 social media accounts.
