Error 001-0502, Brand new "New 3ds XL" friends list constantly offline

Friends list is always offline, despite the fact that I am able to download games, view videos on youtube, and search the web.  Searched for the issue online and found multiple answers to fix the issue, but none have worked.  Xfinity Highspeed internet, don't have issues with connectivity with anything else.

 

I have so far done the following:

  • Verified that security/password and wireless mode was compatible. (figured it was  since most of the online functionality worked)
  • configured the 3DS to have an assigned network IP address, so that the ports the system likes to use can be forwarded.
  • Forwarded the 3DS network IP to have all ports 1-65535 open
  • Set a secondary DNS
  • verified the unit is within 30 feet of the router, and that any conflicting devices are not in the area.
  • Added the 3DS to the DMZ for the router
  • Deleted and re-entered the connection information on the 3DS multiple times
  • Reset the router multiple times
  • Verified that the unit requires no system update.
  • Verified that the unit works online for every function not requiring my friends list.
  • Verified that parental controls were not causing the friends list to be blocked.
  • Fully disabled the firewall, still friends list stays offline, and no multiplayer will work, not even random multiplayer. 

 

 

This is very frustrating as the two games I have for this thing are both meant to be played multiplayer:  Zelda: Triforce Heroes, and Monster Hunter 4.  I have a Wii U, and a regular 3DS XL.  Both work fine with all functions.
