    hi guys, what can we change on the router settings when we get dhcp failure?
    no lease.....


    i assume the no lease is failure to obtain ip address, but what can i change on the router to enable a device to connect to the wifi?


    thanks

    Firstly, what router do you have?

    Are other devices connected when you get this error?

    how many devices are connected at the same time?

    If other devices are connected and a new device cant obtain an ip address you might need to increase the ip scope to allow the router hand out more ip addresses.
