[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1833666, member: 110816"] We are back to the original issue then, if the router has long lease times, it isn't reclaiming the addresses to hand out to new devices. If the router already has the number of devices it can support connected to it, even though the IP address range can handle more devices, the router itself is limiting the number of devices and thus not handing out new IP addresses. There is very little you, as the end device, can do to force the router to give you an IP. I would suggest that Jake's idea of forgetting the SSID and re-joining as a new device might be worth a shot to see if that resolves any glitches. Short of that, it's just what it is. [/QUOTE]
