We&#8217;ll discuss some of the best ways out of this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A WiFi network is an excellent choice&nbsp;if you don\u2019t want to deal with wires and want to move your laptop to a different location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although WiFi is quite useful, some Windows 10 users reported encountering the <em>WiFi doesn&#8217;t have a valid IP configuration<\/em> error message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This error will prevent you from using WiFi, so let\u2019s see how to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does WiFi doesn&#8217;t have a valid IP configuration error keeps happening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This error can occur on a Windows computer when the network adapter or the network settings has an issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This error message means the computer cannot obtain a valid IP address from the router or the DHCP server. Here are some common reasons why this error may occur:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Incorrect network settings<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; Sometimes, the network settings on the computer may be incorrect, which can prevent it from obtaining a valid IP address from the router. This can happen if the network settings are manually configured or if the settings are corrupted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/windowsreport.com\/windows-cant-find-network-driver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Network adapter driver issue<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a>&#8211; If the network adapter driver is outdated, corrupted, or incompatible, it can cause problems with the network connection, including the error.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/windowsreport.com\/windows-11-dhcp-server\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DHCP server issue<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; If there is an issue with the DHCP server, which assigns IP addresses to devices on the network, it can cause the error.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The<em> WiFi doesn\u2019t have a valid IP configuration <\/em>hotspot message can prevent you from accessing the Internet. There are some variations of this error, and speaking of similar issues, here are the most common ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/windowsreport.com\/ethernet-valid-ip-configuration-windows-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">No valid IP configuration<\/a> in Windows 10 <\/strong>&#8211; This can occur due to your antivirus or security settings. You should be able to fix the problem by disabling your antivirus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>WiFi doesn&#8217;t have valid IP configuration on Lenovo, HP, Windows 10 Toshiba, ASUS, Surface Pro 4, and Dell <\/strong>&#8211;<strong> <\/strong>It can appear on almost any device, and your drivers usually cause it.

To do that, open your router settings page, and check what type of security is used. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While in the router settings, ensure the <strong>Wi-Fi PMF<\/strong> (Protected Management Frames) setting is disabled. It&#8217;s not available on every router, but disabling it should work for the ones where you find the setting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If these solutions didn&#8217;t help, move to the ones listed next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"2024 Fix &quot;Wi-Fi doesn\u2019t have valid IP configuration&quot; on Windows 10\/11\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VgwCcKpv38E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

Therefore, you might want to temporarily remove your antivirus or firewall as a workaround.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users reported that Avast and AVG antivirus could cause this issue, and after removing the problematic software, the problem was resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that almost any antivirus software can cause this problem, so temporarily remove all third-party antivirus tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A normal uninstallation process can&#8217;t entirely uninstall many antiviruses and other software. They often leave some files behind that can clog your system or prevent a proper reinstallation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why we recommend using&nbsp;a <a href=\"https:\/\/windowsreport.com\/best-uninstaller-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professional uninstaller tool<\/a> that eliminates any trace of your antivirus, even from the Registry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If removing the antivirus software fixes the problem, you can install the latest version of your antivirus or switch to a different one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/windowsreport.com\/antivirus-for-enterprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reliable antivirus software<\/a> that optimizes your computer\u2019s process activity, which might prevent you from many problems that might appear while using your PC (<em>including this type of PC errors<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Change the number of DHCP users<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to some users, you can fix this problem by increasing the number of DHCP users. However, some routers are usually limited to 50,&nbsp;which can cause the IP configuration failure message to appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix this issue, you must access the router configuration page and manually increase the number of DHCP users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users reported that after increasing the number, all issues were resolved. Check the router manual or head to the manufacturer&#8217;s website for the exact steps for your model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, some users also suggest that you can fix the problem with the IP configuration by increasing the number of maximum wireless users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some routers are limited to only 10 wireless users, and the issue was resolved by increasing the maximum number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.
