Can't connect to DHCP-server. Permanent fix?

EatTHat0324 · Jan 26, 2018

So, everytime i start up my Xbox-one and try to connect it to the internet, the "can't connect to DHCP server" Pops up. If i reastart My router IT usually works, but only temporary. If i shut off My Xbox and Rhen start IT up an hour later the same Message
comes up. Like i said, i can make Xbox-live work temporary but not permanent. Does anyone know If there is a permanent fix and how to do IT.

Please respond if you know a way.

:)

The DHCP server is part of your router. It assigns different devices on your home network with unique IP addresses. If another device on your network is using the same IP as one your console usually has, then your console won't be able to connect to the
network.

You could try giving your console a static IP address, somewhat bypassing DHCP. You can do this either on the console or via your router settings page.

This guide may be useful to you.

If that seems overly complicated - and to the network novice it probably will be. You can try resetting your router to default. At the back or the front of all routers there should be a reset, usually located in a small hole. You reset it by inserting
a paperclip until you feel a click sound. This must be done while the router is powered up.

If you're not sure how to do this, consult your router documentation or contact your service provider.

Anyone have an explanation for this?

As i said before i have followed the steps on the troubleshooting page under "cannot connect to your DHCP server" but then that only fixes the problem until i turn it off, have to keep doing it if i want to use the console when i turn it on again. Shouldn't
those steps be a permanent fix?

Hello I was just wondering if you were ever able to resolve your issue. I’ve been having the same problem for the last week with little to no luck. My situation is slightly different as I was using an alternate MAC address to bypass a splash page to connect to WiFi, it worked fine for months but after a power outage last week it’s been nothing but problems, mainly DHCP server errors.

I’ve managed to get a connection a few times by manually inputting the IP, gateway, DNS etc and changing the MAC address but even following the exact same steps I can never replicate it and get a connection consistently. The ISP has been completely useless. Any advice would be great if you happened to find anything that worked.

Bump again. Was there an update that caused this? I just want my Xbox One to work.
