Every time I do ipconfig release/renew command I keep getting:
No operation can be performed on Ethernet while it has its media disconnected.No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection* 2 while it has its media disconnected.
Those commands when trying to renew IP Address. How can I fix?
Also, will this give me a new IP Address,
instead of CMD method?
Open a cmd prompt type
ipconfig/all
post results. You cant change you internet IP its set by the isp so may reset it on reboot of routerbut a lot will give you the same ip

Can't make any sense of what IPconfig is producing. I see no IPv4 or IPv6 addresses for either your wired Intel 92579LM or your WiFi Intel 6205 interfaces. Something odd is going on here.

We really can't diagnose your issues unless we know, for example, whether or not the IP address is in the same range as the LAN to which it is attached. This is not your problem, but one common symptom is to see a node come up with an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Address) which always starts with 169.254.x.x. This tells us that there's a problem with DHCP that's preventing the interface from obtaining a more "normal" IP address (which could be public or private, depending on the LAN's configuration). I understand that you might not want to share this information with us, but you're going to have to share it with somebody if you want to get to the bottom of your problems.
