Check for the DNS settings of both router and mobile.

add your phone mac address to whitelist of mac address filter in your router settings.

Maybe your router has died? OR MAYBE a Ethernet Cable gave out (this has happened to me once with a router btw)??? Just a thought....

Somtetimes that happens with a few of my android devices, They connect to the router but can't obtain an ip address, I just go into the settings and turn wifi off and then back on again, Then it works, Not sure why this happens.

It could also be a firmware bug within the Android OS, as each version of the Android OS is variant to the device, it maybe worth looking for an update to your version ?

Disconnect Wifi. Go into Android Settings > WiFi > your WiFi name > Show Advanced Options > IP Settings > Static > enter a IP address here, something like 192.168.1.5, Gateway: 192.168.1.1, DNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 > re-enter your WiFi password > Connect. Try now. :)

Otherwise, as mentioned, happens sometimes, when it does, keep trying. ;)
