Smash Bros Online Function Won't work

I don't know why, but this is the only thing that won't work. Smash works offline. Every other game's online function works. But Smash Bros will not play online. It loads slowly and freezes up when it says "communicating with the server". The box will half shrink as if online is about to open up, then it freezes for about 30 seconds, and says "A communication error has occurred". I got the board installed a last summer, I've probably tried it near 100 times and it's actually let me go online only once. My other 2 3DSes I have both work online with smash, so it's not my internet. The system and game are both up to date.

Sorry it's long, but I wanted to thoroughly explain the situation, please let me know if any of you can help!

I really doubt the capture card could cause any of that. Maybe your NNID got compromised?

I don't think so, what would make my NNID get compromised? I know it worked before I got the bird installed and stopped immediately after without any overlap on either side. Maybe the wifi antenna was knocked a little loose or something?

Running 3rd party apps maybe? If you arent running third party apps though, then its probably not your NNID. Can you log into the nintendo eshop?

No 3rd party apps, not custom firmware or homebrew or hacked in any way. It will let me access the App Store

Maybe the data is corrupt? Try going to system settings and deleting additional data (not additional content or updates, just additional data). I think you will only loose your replays. Everything else should stay put. Do it at your own risk of course ;)

I have all the DLC characters and a couple of stages, will it remove those?

I'm honestly not 100% on that one =/ If it's DLC though can't you just re download it? I've never purchased DLC ever tbh, so I really do not know.
