How to Manage Network Issues When Working Remotely?

Tags: Windows

Hello everyone,

I’ve been facing some issues with my computer not picking up a different IP address on Windows 10 when I switch networks. This happens frequently when I’m traveling and using different public or private Wi-Fi networks. It’s really frustrating because sometimes I need a stable connection to access work-related systems or even book services online.

Does anyone have a foolproof method to ensure that the computer dynamically picks up a new IP address when connecting to a different network? I’ve tried the basics like releasing and renewing the IP, but it doesn’t seem to work all the time.

Looking forward to your tips and suggestions. Thanks in advance!

It should work. But if it doesn’t: restart Windows.

Never forget that if you are using a network other than your own, you have little to no control over it. The suggestion to reset your computer is the best one I can think of.
