I had a small quarrel with my stepfather, and then he didn’t let me access the home internet. When I try to connect to our home wifi normally, it says "obtaining ip address" and loops for minutes until it says "failed to obtain ip address." But when I try to connect by setting static ip from my phone, it connects immediately but says " no internet." I assumed he might have blacklisted me, but I am unable to connect even my laptop and other phones. Suspecting that my stepfather had enabled whitelist or MAC filtering, I tried to spoof MAC address using kali linux, but I couldn't connect to the wifi with spoofed MAC. I need internet but my stepfather won't listen to me. Since he is not in home right now and won't return for a month, I don't have a connected device to access the setup page and see the settings of our Digicom ( DG-M342T) router. I am also unable to physically access the router but I have the password( Authentication type - WEP). How do I fix this? I would really appreciate your help.
You could download the router's management app and then view the connected devices list on your phone. Check your router's setup guide to see which app you need to download.

I can't access the setup page by typing 192.168.10.1 in the url or from other Router management apps on the play store. It says " Can't reach the page." I also checked the guide where it says to open admin page by typing 192.168.10.1 on the browser , but there is no mention of any management apps.
Making changes to your router you’d need to know the IP address of the router. A list of wellknown router IPs here:

Thanks for your reply jwoegerbauer. As I mentioned earlier in my post, if I connect to wifi just by typing password, it loops "obtaining ip address" for long period, and therefore I have to set static ip address through the advance setting of wifi just to connect to it. My router's local ip address is 192.168.10.1 . I used to access the admin page before the restriction through this ip address. But now it says "Can't reach the page." The problem is about not being able to access internet and admin page after connecting to the router.
Clear your local DNS cache to make sure you have the recent version from your ISP for 192.168.10.1. For Windows machine, you can do this by going to Start > Command Prompt > Type ipconfig /flushdns and then hit Enter.
Assumed that router's IP really is 192.168.10.1 and it still doesn't work then maybe ISP is blocking it. You may try to use an alternate DNS service such as Cloudflare for example.
I flushed the dns in windows. Now I can connect to the wifi without setting statip ip (in windows), but I still can't access internet. If I try to open any website, it says "
Hmmm… can't reach this page" and then says "You are not connected." I installed cloudflare WARP in windows but it was no use , since it requires internet access to function.
These are the screenshots of my android to explain what exactly happens:
1. When I try to connect to wifi just by typing it's password (loops at "obtaining ip address")
2. Setting the static ip manually
3. Instantly connected after setting static ip
4. Connected but No internet
5. Can't access router setup page
Cloudflare Warp? Confused.
How to change DNS Server to Cloudflare is explained in detail here:

I downloaded an application( Cloudflare WARP) form the cloudflare website linked below. I checked the website you linked and changed the DNS accordingly, but I still can't access internet.

Well thanks for your help jwoegerbauer. Below is the screenshot of ipconfig command after flushing dns. It looks like I haven't been assigned an ip address, the subnet is different, and the gateway is blank. Do you have any idea what this means? What could be a valid ip adress to connect manually with static ip?

Hi Folks,
I have set up my wife's SPV E650 to hook up to our wireless network at home so she can connect to the internet through the home wireless network. We have static IP's on our LAN. Although I have specified a static IP for the E650's wireless connection, I cannot find out where I specify the DNS servers to allow her to connect to the internet via our ISP, (I know the DNS server IPs, I just can't find out where I enter that info on the E650). So at the moment, I can connect to the home network, but cannot get onto t'internet!
It is quite likely that I am being a spaz and am missing something obvious... regardless, if you can help me, let me know!
Cheers

even if you have a static IP you should not have to specify a static DNS because your default gateway should be your router IP address and your router should automatically give the DNS servers to any device that pulls that ip address

Thanks for your response.
All the other devices on my home network (laptop, PC, Xbox 360, SPV M3100) ask for the DNS server to be specified in a static IP environment, and they all connect to the internet just fine through the wireless network.
I am sure you are right, but I know that none of the above mentioned devices connect to the internet without the DNS servers specified.
So, question remains, how do I specify the DNS servers on the E650? Maybe a registry entry?
@mortalwombat,
i have the same problem with my htc s710.
Even though I run the wireless network with static IPs, I set my HTC S710 to get the IP "from a server" (= dynamic IP setting).
I did this after I tried with an IP Adress within my IP Adress Range.
So what happened is that my S710 somehow gets an IP Adress from my router that is almost in my regular IP Range.
You can try to set an static IP Adress within your Range first and then switch to dynamic IP Adress on you device..

Hi,
Could you send me link where I can download
App which can change IP address if exist?
Thanks
if you need to change the adress of your Wifi connection, simply go to your wifi settings, do a long press on the network and select "edit". Here you can change the IP Adress.
No, I need to configure manualy IP address because WIFI AP doesnt give IP addresses and I am not administrator of this AP and its company wifi.
Exist this program ?
you should be able to connect to the Wifi AP. Once done, it should either provide you with an IP via DHCP, or if this is indeed disabled as you say a zeroconf ip. If it's DHCP you don't seem to be able to modify the IP, but for zeroconf:
select the wifi network in your wifi setting, press and hold it, select "edit". Right under "proxy on/off" you should be able to edit your IP Adress, subnet mask and gateway adress as well as your DNS Servers.

Your advice it's nice bul****. If you are connected to wifi
you can allow only proxy server if you edit selected
wifi network and nothing else.
I ment program which allows me change ip address before
I log to wifi network.
I hope thats clear.

No its not clear man ...
Why you want to change the ip of your phone to a static one for all networks yoy log in...
When your phone finds the network you want to log in connect to the net providing the password ... then after connecting and not haviing an ip address, keep the name of the network pressed with your finger and there you can change the ip address..
Did you try this yourself?

Did you try this yourself, and it worked? If yes, I wonder big time because that's exactly what did not work for me and my HTC Radar at my home Wifi network: Without a DHCP server running on the Access Point (no need for, only static IP addresses in use) the phone did not connect, just hang for a minute or so and then timed out. Only after I activated a DHCP server to dish out an IP to the phone it connected.

suppose(and this case is real in my case and applies to me..) u r not the admin of wifi router(u r nt connection owner) and u r in ur school and u want to connect to school wifi..but the router connects to only a limited set of ips..network admin has disabled dhcp server as in my ase..without preconfiguring the ip address before connection, u cant connect to ap..thats tragedy..dont think, oh i have never undergone such circumstances and ur network admin is a jack***..i know but i am helpless in this situation..all my classmates and my seniors are android device owners..so network admin doesn't change all settings just for helping a single person(at least in india..they ll ask u to use internet through library computers like dumbasses..)
THIS SUBSTANTIATES THE NECESSITY OF A FEATURE WHICH ALLOWS U TO SET A STATIC IP BEFORE LOGGING INTO ACCESS POINT..
also this feature helps to prevent all the little more work consuming process of logging into router, assigning static ip to ur device, and getting the static ip on device from router itself(but still thats DHCP only)..
Try Hotspot Switch IP. Is a free android app which allows you to change IP automatically by timer, remotely via web server, and also you can do it in app. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hotspot.wifi.change.ip&pli=1
in my network at home is a fritzbox cable router with WLAN. i set DNS to a external DNS Server that is under my control. when i connect with laptops to the WLAN, i can see in the logs on the external DNS Service the requests from the laptop. now when i connect a mobile (android 10, samsung a71) to the wlan, i dont see any DNS requests to DNS Service... i use chrome on android. where are the dns requests routed to? and how can change settings that chrome on android connnected to my WKLAN , should use DNS Settings its get via DHCP from the wlan?
In my phone i see to setting/conn setting/more conn sett/ private dns.
Maybe help you.

thats for crypting dns requests.
it seems android is not using the dns server from the wlan connection
Android shows your DNS server in your WiFi settings. Click your network and it should be listed somewhere.
Network's DNS server can be bypassed by private DNS settings. Make sure it's set to "off"
Chrome on Android also has an option to use custom DNS, but it's disabled by default AFAIK. Setting is located under Settings > Privacy and security > Use secure DNS. Make sure it's not set to "Choose another provider"
There's also a cool tool https://1.1.1.1/help which should show your DNS provider under "AS Name". Maybe compare results in this URL between your phone and laptop. They should be the same.
I have various machines on my lan in 192.168.1.*, I have a local DNS server to give those machines names. This normally works great, but my new Samsung Galaxy S21 sometimes says "cannot access" when I point it at a web address of a server running on my lan. I'll use a network utility app to do a DNS lookup of the other system, and it will tell me the correct address, then I'll use the same network utility to do a traceroute, and it will try to talk to a local IP I do not have in my network, in my DNS database, or anywhere in the set of addresses my router knows about. Where does this ghost address come from? Does the phone imagine that is the gateway it ought to be using for some reason? (The router's DHCP server certainly doesn't claim an unknown address is the gateway).
Every time I start trying to investigate the problem in more detail, everything suddenly starts working perfectly.
Does this ring a bell for anyone? Any clue what is going on? Maybe I should assign my phone's network statically and see if it works better.
How can I assign a static IP address to my phones hotspot?
I use the hotspot on my Samsung M31 to connect my laptop running Windows 10 to the internet.
I also have Oracle's Virtual Box VM running a few test websites on the laptop on Ubuntu Server 22.04, which need a static IP address to access.
A few days back when I ran ipconfig at the Windows command prompt, it showed my wireless IP address as 192.168.166.135. Today, it show as 192.168.35.125. Meaning, all my sites are now broken. Is there a way to stop the hotspot from changing IP addresses?
Can someone please help?
Thanks,

I don't know the answer to your question directly as your situation is more complicated than is mine but I will try to help in so much as you can at least check what your current settings are.
My setup is only similar to yours in that I have apps (such as vysor & scrcpy) on Windows which are expecting a static IP address from my phone. However, where my setup differs from yours is I'm not using my phone as a hotspot - the router is assigning the IP addresses.
However, maybe what I've learned by randomizing my MAC address on each connection can help you - where I say maybe - as I your situation is using the phone as a hotspot and mine is passively accepting the IP address handed to the phone by the router.
In Android 11, the phone's Wi-Fi radio MAC address can be randomized per SSID, in which case the "address reservation" feature of most routers (often incorrectly called "static" IP addresses) won't work as intended. Worse, in Android 12, in Developer options, you can set a switch to randomize the Wi-Fi radio MAC address of the phone on every connection, regardless of the SSID.
Hence, you have to set the "static" IP address request in the phone itself, so that the router will respect that request for a static IP address.
(As an extra complexity, my SSID broadcast is hidden for privacy reasons (not for security - but privacy), which complicates things only a tiny bit as you have to turn off auto-reconnect for privacy.)
See the images below where maybe (but maybe not!) this information will help you track down why in your (hotspot) case, this static IP address requrest isn't being honored in your hotstpot setup.
