Make sure there's no interference from other wireless devices. Sometimes, microwaves and routers can mess with the signal.

I had the same issue! What worked for me was restarting the console and re-pairing the controller. Hold the guide button to turn it off, wait a few minutes, and then reconnect.

First, try replacing the batteries or making sure the rechargeable pack is fully charged. If that doesn't work, press the connect button on the console and then on the controller within 20 seconds.

Connect it via a USB cable first. Once it's recognized, disconnect it and try pairing wirelessly again.
