How to Fix The IP Configuration Failure
Error message "Failed To Obtain IP Address" is displayed when a user attempts to access the Internet over a Wi-Fi network. Any device that connects to a network is assigned an IP address by a router. A router cannot recognize your device without this address. An IP configuration failure prevents the user from connecting to a Wi-Fi network, as displayed by this IP configuration failure message.
In many cases, this is due to the following factors:
- Poor Wi-Fi signal. Reduce the distance between your device and the router if this is the case.;
- The encryption technique you've selected doesn't work correctly on your device.
- Enabled MAC filtering. It's conceivable that your address isn't in the list of whitelisted addresses.
Ways to fix the IP configuration failure error
On an Android device
- Reconnect to a network
Attempting this method is a good place to start. A new IP address is generated by the router, which disregards the prior attempt to assign one to you. If the issue is caused by transitory interference, this should help. Follow these steps to do this: Go to Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Select the Wi-Fi network, and then choose Forget Network.
After this, log in to this network as usual.
- Change the encryption type
Android devices may not be able to use WPA or AES encryption. You may switch back and forth between them at will. In your Wi-Fi settings, try changing a field like Encryption Mode, Encryption Method, or something similar. Use the first method to rejoin the network after that.
- Turn flight mode on and off
Flight mode resets the phone's settings, so if the problem is caused by software or anything similar, this technique may assist.
On a Windows device
- Check to see whether your network service is operational. Is it actually working?
- Update your device's drivers.
- On the Network Adapter, reset the valid IP settings.
- TCP/IP setup should be re-adjusted
