I'm getting the error "Wi-Fi doesn't have a valid IP configuration" when I try to connect to only one specific network. It connects fine to all other networks. I've tried and other devices connect to this network with no problem. I'm running a new install of Windows 10 (upgraded from W7) and my wireless card is a Ralink RT3090 802.11n.
I've tried the following commands:
- ipconfig /release
- ipconfig /renew
- netsh winsock reset
- netsh int ip reset
I've also tried:
- Updating or rolling back wireless driver
- Full Network Reset within Windows
- Restarting the router and computer multiple times
- "Forgetting" and reconnecting to the Network
- Changing settings in the router page (Channel, bandwidth, changing to 802.11n instead of ax...)
- Assigning a static IP (not convinced I used the right settings which I got from another machine that connects fine, but all different variations had the same result: nothing)
I'm all out of ideas, what else can I try? TIA! (Please let me know if I need to provide any more info)
EDIT 1 Sorry for the formatting:
- I have reset and restarted the router multiple times.
- I can connect to the internet through ethernet, but not Wi-Fi
- manual IP hasn't worked (although I'm not confident I used the right settings)
