Internet is being used in various ways, on mobile devices, through LAN cables etc. Among these is Wi Fi connection which removes the usage of wires for internet connection.
Sometimes one might face problems while connecting to internet through Wi Fi connection. One of such problem is "Wi fi does not have a valid IP". So, here are some of the solutions that proved helpful to various users and you can also give it a try.

ii) Enter the following lines in command prompt:
-> netsh winsock reset
-> netsh int ip reset
iii) Close Command Prompt and restart your PC.

This solution has been helpful to most users having issue with IP configuration problem, but if you are using static IP address then you’ll have to set it again. In case, the previous commands didn’t work, you might want to try following commands as well:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew

4) Set your IP address manually
Whenever you connect to wireless network you are basically giving an IP address and this work is done by DHCP. Sometimes IP configuration error is encountered when there is an issue with DHCP.

i) Press Windows Key + X and choose Network Connections.
ii) Right click your wireless network and choose Properties from the menu.

Alternatively, access your router and turn off DHCP. Configure it for assigning a static IP address to your PC.
