I'm having trouble connecting my Windows 11 laptop to my home WiFi network. The strange thing is, all my other devices can connect just fine. My laptop does work on different networks, so the issue seems specific to my home setup. When I run the troubleshooter, it says 'No DHCP server was found.' I've already tried restarting both the router and the laptop, plus I've updated the WiFi card drivers. This laptop was using this network without issues about a year ago, and I don't think anything has changed since then.

Can other devices in your home connect? If they can, then it rules out any major issues with the network itself.
Have you set up a static DHCP server for your network? Sometimes, conflicts can arise if that’s not configured correctly.
You could also try running the network troubleshooter again. Navigate to Start > Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters > Network and Internet. If that doesn't help, checking if you can connect using an Ethernet cable might be a good test.
Just to double-check, is it WiFi you’re trying to connect with? If so, try forgetting the network and reconnecting—it’s worked for a few users I’ve seen in the past.
