    Login to your router's IP and try to turn off WPS and turn back on. This should help you wipe any stuck IP's. That's usually why you can't obtain IP or connect.

    Question!
    Im useing an Xfinity wifi hotspot, it's my only means of connection.
    Im Not very tech savvy so, forgive me if I sound like an idiot lol
    But for this last year using this hotspot, there will be some days where it suddenly doesn't work and will display "IP configuration failure" in a never ending loop... Until it randomly fixes itself...
    Otherwise this hotspot works fine, and it's the only one around.
    Also I've tried changing it to static, which will connect, but not to the internet, so it's pointless...
    My firestick is connected to the hotspot, and working fine, but nothing else will work. (Using an Android phone)
    What else can I do?
    Once this goes out, im basically cut off from the world! HELP!

I got this isse two days ago at the same time as my xbox getting a 'failed to connect to dhcp server' after this nothing seems to connect to the hotspot. tried my playstation, which hadn't been pugged in for months, and someone else's phone...nothing works on it.

      @@user-oi8wo6zr6b apparently xfinity doesn't want you using the hotspot from your home yourself. The issue was that you cannot connect to the hotspot unless someone near you also has xfinity and has the hotspot enabled. It stopped working for me cause the only other person with xfinity near me moved. everyone else has verizon or dish.
      I am not very intelligent about things like this, but after calling them about it they pretty much told me this exactly. That, and they will make no attempt at fixing issues involving the hotspot. This is what I was told.
