Hi,
I am kinda out of options now as I have tried all the known fixes and some for the dreaded cannot obtain IP address / Internet may not be avalable problem...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 and this problem only occours on my home WIFI (Vodafone) - when I go to my friends house who has SKY it works flawlessly...
-------------------
Clearing the google play services cache used to allow the cannot obtain IP address to not happen - but since the AUG 1 update it now wont unless I set a static IP / DNS.
either way no matter what I do it always stops at Intenet may not be avalable and its not joking - I really have no internet.
---------------------
I have tried....
Factory Resetting the phone / Phone Cache / Google Play cache.
Set statip IP and DNS correctlly - (Using both the default gateway IP and google DNS servers - and even mixed them up to see)
Set up the guest IP on my router / Set up a 2nd and even 3rd router as a second and third Access Point (One being a SKY router like where it worked at my firends) - correctlly. (Using both static and DHCP)
All the normal forget network / reset network settings in the phone.
- I was looking for the WIFI thing in developer optons as well thats about on the net - I do not even have that opton in developer option.
--------------------
Main problem is - execpt at my friends house and elsewhere (So i can connect if the conditions are right it seems) -- DHCP is outright broken since the AUG 1 update (and was befoe if you didnt clear the google play cache after a factory reset) - and results in "Cannot obtain IP address" (Even though the router says it has one)
Setting a static IP moves past cannot obtain IP address - but then gets stuck on "Internet may not be avalable" and gives me no internet as well when i try to load a page.
--------------------
I don't know what else to try now I am litterlly at the end of my teather (If you parden the pun)
Thank you in advance if you have any ideas.
Oh and I might like to add - nothing else has any problem at all connecting to these wifi networks - computers nor other android phones - but none that are the S8.
