Warning about DHCP Not Working

Hello, I'm using the Fing device and apps on an iPad, Android phone and Windows desktop computer (wired connection) - all working fine. I added a new laptop to my home network (WiFi connection). On this laptop (and not on any of my other home network devices), Fing reports that there is a problem with DHCP and that new devices may not be able to connect. DHCP is in fact working perfectly (I tested, including rebooting my router). In case it's relevant, I'm using two access points in addition to my router. Appreciate any ideas on this. Thanks!

Hi @Gary_E welcome to the community and thanks for asking your question.I'm wondering if the wireless connection from the laptop is connecting to the AP's and for some reason it's part of the problem? Try disconnecting the AP's as a test and see if the laptop connects to the router through that wireless connection, and does it operate as it should?Just trying to eliminate some factors to see where the issue 'follows' a pattern. Let me know what you find out."There's a fine line between audacity and idiocy."
