Windows PC can't connect to wifi with DHCP
My work laptop (only Windows device at home) was working normaly until suddenly started to give me the triangle on the wifi symbol indicating no internet connection.
I tried changing many things in...
What is the IP address pool set for on the router? Try setting it from default to 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200.
Also do a IPCONFIG /release then IPCONFIG /flushdns then IPCONFIG /renew on the PC. Or fully reboot the PC.
Try using the Windows Diagnostic wizard for the connection and see if this will resolve the problem.

Thanks,
The IPCONFIG /release then IPCONFIG /flushdns then IPCONFIG /renew on the PC made the trick.
It seems that this is needed everytime after changing the DHCP IP range. In fact you get a notification when you apply the changes to the DHCP IP range but the message is not really clear what it means. Now I know what it does :)
