A week ago, I could acquire access to my internet via the router I have, now I cannot connect to the internet. Nothing major has changed, I used my VPN properly, it shuffles its own IP not mine, and so on.
Anyways, the router detects my MAC address on my PC but doesn't assign it an IP address and troubleshooting it says something about a Valid IP.
This laptop, my brothers computer in the next room, my girlfriends smartphone, the roku, and a bunch of consoles can connect no problem, I can see their MAC addresses along with their IPs and they get internet, but for some reason my main PC is singled out.
It's running WIN 8.1, through a USB wireless AC dongle, which clearly works since the router is detecting the PC, just not giving it internet access but nobody has gone through the routers settings since I'm the only one with the password.
I cannot for the life of me debunk this. I've tried ipconfig /release and /renew, I've tried assigning it a manual IP for it to not do anything.
Sorry if I late reply, this laptop is absolutely atrocious.
