Doesn't have a valid IP configuration

I have recently logged into my computer Windows 10. All of a sudden it says my wireless network connection 3 doesn't have a valid IP configuration now.why does it stop working all of a sudden.

This happened to me the other day. Honestly, I have no idea why - but a reboot of the router fixed the issue for me.

FWIW, it only impacted my work setup which uses Powerline for the room it's in. Wifi or ethernet directly from the router worked just fine.
