Hello, I have a question about my wifi

To resolve the issues you're experiencing with your Wi-Fi, follow these steps:

1. IP Address Conflict: The message indicating an IP address conflict suggests that another device on your network is using the same IP address as your computer. To fix this:
   • Change the IP address of your computer to a unique one. You can do this by going to the network adapter settings:
     • Right-click on the network icon in the system tray and select Open Network & Internet settings.
     • Click on Change adapter options.
     • Right-click on your Wi-Fi connection and select Properties.
     • Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties.
     • Choose Use the following IP address and enter a different IP address that is not in use on your network, along with the correct subnet mask and default gateway.
2. Invalid IP Configuration: The message about the wireless network connection not having a valid IP configuration typically indicates that your computer is unable to obtain a valid IP address from the DHCP server. To troubleshoot this:
   • Restart your router and modem.
   • Ensure that your Wi-Fi is enabled and connected.
   • You can also try releasing and renewing your IP address:
     • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
     • Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
     • Then type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
3. Check Network Settings: Ensure that your network settings are configured correctly. Incorrect subnet masks or default gateways can lead to connectivity issues. Make sure that your subnet mask matches the one used by your network and that your default gateway is set to the IP address of your router.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider uninstalling and reinstalling your Wi-Fi adapter or checking for driver updates.

Hello,

If that message appears it means the two computers have the same ID and are fighting over the connection, you can give them separate IP addresses by doing this.

Press win+R then type cmd, type in these commands.

ipconfig /release 

ipconfig /renew

The first command will remove the current ip address, the second command will create a new ip address, once this is done you should be able to connect to wifi.

Hope this helps,
