eShop Error Code 005 - 4040

Hello,

I can't seem to connect to the 3DS eShop. After pressing the eShop icon, it takes me to the load screen (with the little icon), which loads for like 2 minutes, afterward I get the 005 4040 error message. Checked the error code on the support page and it said that that the eShop might be down at the moment, so I checked the network status page and it says it is operating normally. Other people in my region are able to access the eShop as well.

I've tried resetting my wifi, as well as reseting my 3DS.I can connect to the internet fine (Internet rowser and friend list works). I've had this issue for around 3 hours now. Any ideas?

Thanks.
