Laptop keeps losing ip address

clairek6

Hi
have a Fujitsu windows 10 laptop and every second day maybe the internet won't connect and it says it cannot reach IP address, so I follow the instructions in the attached picture but almost the next day it could be back to square one.

It's really annoying getting it back every day. Just wondering is there any way to permanently solve this?

Are all your drivers up-to-date?

Go to the manufacturers website and check under the support pages.

I had this, think it's a windows 10 problem, only solution I could get to work was go to cmd line then ip release and IP renew, everyday until Microsoft fixed it in an update recently

I had a little bat script on my desktop with the 2 lines in it 'ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew' double click it and it was fixed for others in the house.

Someone might actually have a decent fix for it but I tried alot none worked for me

Have a couple of batches to run the same. Does seem to fix a lot of problems.

You can just put a static IP address onto the laptop if just using it from.

An ipconfig /all would give you the info you need

Can you post the full script please. Is there more than

echo off
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

That hangs at command echo off for me.. Thanks. Excuse me jumping in OP:)

This is what I have been following:
Windows key + X
Select command prompt
Type ipconfig /release and hit enter
Type ipconfig /renew and hit enter

Type exit and hit enter

I had a similar issue with an Asus laptop, Windows 10 also.
I gave it a static IP address via my router's admin page, no issue since, not a single drop in over a week.

I have a theory that the use of wireless range extenders might be the ultimate cause of the problem.

I didnt use echo off, just the 2 lines underneath it'll open and close a command prompt

if you download notepad++ type in
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew


when you go to save as look for save as type at the bottom, select batch file save to desktop, when wireless goes down double click it ,

I think a static ip fixes it as has been mentioned but i was just lazy and this was handy while waiting on the fix

Thanks I might look more in to this option so. We don't have a range extender so not the cause here anyways

Boards wont allow you to attach a script file, so here it is as a text file.

@echo OFF
REM Script to reset network
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
echo Networking Reset
pause

Download the attachment, copy it to the desktop. Then rename it from "Reconnect.txt" to "Reconnect.bat". If you cant see the .txt you need to enable file extensions in the "View" settings of File Explorer(Explorer).
