Smile The real sulution

The real answer is to update your wireless drivers, then in win zero config util,
check 'use windows to config my wireless settings' Hit OK at the bottom to save this. Then go to the advanced tab at THE BOTTOM of the wind zero config utility, CHECK THE MIDDLE BOX;"ACCESS POINTS ONLY"
That should stop an invalid 169.xxx ip address w a caution sign on it.
The real solution to the acquiring ip address problem is to set a static ip address in your wifi adapter's tcp/ip settings. Check thru my other posts on here on exactly how to do that; if you don't understand something in the procedure I describe, please post on here.
(do not use 3rd party config software to setup your wifi adapters, always use windows zero config tool(built in windows os)
