I don't want the person to know I'm using the WiFi. Do u mean they limit the number of persons that can connect to it?

Yep, Your Wifi Will Keep Obtaining The Ip Address But All To No Avail. Funny Enough It Won't Ask 4 Password. I Would Advice U Best Ask Around

You've said it all... its keep obtaining the IP address. Pls is there any other solution bcoz I don't want to contact the person.

I'll Try To Do Some Findings, But For Now, No.

Buy your own WiFi router/modem, and use it the way you desire......

It sounds like a problem with your phone not being able to get an IP address from the DHCP server (which kind of sucks) since your computer can do it. Have you tried restarting your phone? It sounds like a problem with the Wi-fi radio in your phone. Keep in mind that wi-fi radio's in phones are much weaker than their laptop counterparts because they are smaller in size (and cheaper).

The prob is not rea;;y a problem its just the way the wifi device is setup itself.If ure a good network person u mite understand what will make a laptop connect and phone not connect. Because ure stealing the wifi i am not gonna profer any solution bro

I guest am not the only one experiencing such problems. but I was able to solve mine, I turbo on a forum where people were experiencing same problems. its not a phone problem but an Android problem. You can read below.....

maybe you didn’t configure it properly. Double check what you wrote on the boxes.

Either the IP address you’ve assigned is conflicting with other devices or there is something wrong with your router’s settings.

Static IP defeats the purpose of dynamic IP assignment. What is the fix to just make DHCP work the way it is supposed to work? I don’t believe android would say the solution is static IP only.

The recommended solution did not work for me. However, I came across a comment suggesting that there is a problem with Android and some Belkin routers. As I had an oldish Belkin router I bought a new router (Netgear) and then everything worked fine. I appreciate that this is not a cheap solution, especially if it does not do the trick for you, but if like me you are despearte and nothing else works you may care to try it.

Static IP entered so that it doesn’t conflict with the other devices connected. But still its not working.
