LjubeGVG Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I have a home router and lease time of an ip is 600. On my android phone I want to renew my internal ip address from phone. Like in windows ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew. I cannot reset the router. How to force DHCP server for new IP. How to do this in android and do I need root(i think is not required). I really need this for my local network. Thanks in advance for your effort and knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Unless there is remote control software like teamviewer and you have it setup or one of those smart routers that you can control remotely I dont think there is a way. Ill look into this for you I thought I remembered a app that did this Im not sure. You want to renew the internal ip address on your phone or you want to renew your internal ip address on your computer using your android phone? Please let me know what you want to do please and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 If you want to renew your ip addreess on your phone then go into your router and look for reserved client list to make sure your router gives your android the same ip address everytime (you choose what IP address you want to use and get to keep it) or disconnect from your wireless access point in your phone connect to a different one and then connect back to your routers access point again that can make the phone renew your ip address. If your not talking about wifi wireless fidelity then renewing your ip address on the g network is tricky really no way without bricking the phone. I need to know if your talking about wifi or g network? What android phone are you using? This information is needed for me to continue to help you. I just read it again and you mention cannot reset router how to force dhcp server for new ip address read my first sentence regarding reserved client list doing so can prevent a ip address collision two devices trying to request the same ip address resulting in one losing connection. What is your current ip address? This is a example of what Im thinking of 192.168.X.X something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
