Overcoming Invalid IP Config 169.254.XX
Invalid IP Config 169.254.xx is a private IP address provided by Microsoft if our device cannot connect to the internet and cannot get an IP address from the DHCP server. The cause of this problem itself is thought to be due to an IP address collision between one computer and another, therefore here we will fill in IPv4 manually by knowing which IP addresses are still available between the ranges that have been set.
Steps:
1. Go to “Control Panel” and select “Network and Sharing Center”
2. Click on the Adapter that you are using then select “Properties”
3. Click “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” then click “Properties”
4. Change “Obtain an IP address automatically” to “Use the following IP address”
5. In the following section,
- IP Address : 192.168.1.xfill in X with an IP address that has not been used by another computer, but also pay attention to the range that has been set on the router, don’t give a number that exceeds the range or is out of range.
- Subnet mask: fill in 255.255.255.0, this subnet mask is the most commonly used, but if your router uses a different subnet mask then enter it according to what is on the router
- Default gateway : 192.168.1.1
6. Click “Ok”, if it’s still “No Internet Access” you can try restarting your computer
7. Done!
Notes:
There are still many other ways that are spread on Google, if this method still can’t be resolved, you can try another method.
