Hi, I've been dealing with this for 2 days and I hope someone can help me out! This problem started very suddenly (Wifi worked, walked away for 10 minutes, then found that it didn't). I would normally just reset the router, but I live in an apartment building and the router is in my landlords office. I am unsure if anyone else is experiencing issues, however, my laptop connects to wifi at my workplace and on my school's campus.
When I did ipconfig /all, my ip started with 169, which I know isn't normal. But when I try to do a /release and /renew, I get the error "No operation can be performed on local area connection *14 while it has it's media disconnected." I am unable to attempt a wired connection, as the router is not accessible to me.
Can anyone help me out? I'm at a loss...I'm not sure if this is a router issue, or an issue with my laptop (less than a year old.) I am a grad student and I currently have to do most of my work via my iphone, which is getting very inconvenient.
