How to Fix stuck at Obtaining IP Address for Android devices

Hey guys!!! If you are unable to connect mobile with WiFi but earlier it was working fine so no worries we are here to help you. Many Android devices get stuck at obtaining IP address loop while trying to connect to WiFi. This is caused by IP address-related issue on your router.
Most users try resetting the router and disconnecting and reconnecting to WiFi but these fixes seldom work, and some even send their Android device for repair, which end up costing them money. Actually, you can fix the obtaining IP address error all by yourself by following the steps below. Please note that this fix is intended for your home network and not for public access points.

How to Fix stuck at Obtaining IP Address for Android devices

Go to system Settings >> Turn WiFi on.
 Long Press on the Wi-Fi network which is causing issue
Now you will get two options in the pop up- “Forget network” and “Modify network”. Choose “modify network”.
 Enable- “Show advanced options” .
Change IP Settings (which is DHCP by default),to “Static”.
Now you should see a bunch of advanced options.
Simply assign a new IP address. For example if it was 192.168.1.3 you can change it to 195.168.1.253. Now “Save”

                                          

The above solution is for devices running Android Jelly Bean 4.2.x, 4.3, Android 4.4 KitKat and Android 5 Lollipop. For Older Android OS, the menu navigation is different but the process is basically the same. Just go to Wi-Fi settings, press Menu and choose Advance. Then enable “Static IP” and assign new IP address. Many custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Android, SlimRom etc also get the obtaining IP address error.

Common devices experiencing this stuck at “Obtaining IP address” issue include almost all the android phones
