The first time i ran into this, it just happened I had a 951 at the
cutomers house, so I could see the device connect via Wifi, but never
obtain an IP Address. Weird thing was the customer said that it was
worked fine on his office wifi, so it must be something with the way the
mikrotik router is handing out DHCP? Maybe only a handful of routers/PC
combinations have the issue?

install an SS as a demarc and if they think internet doesn't work,
swing by and plug laptop into the demarc. If it works for me then I
don't really care what windows/iOS/Linksys problem they're having.
On other days I feel more altruistic.
Sorry, Ken no I have no constructive input on the problem. :)

Subject: [AFMUG] Windows 10 DHCP bug still?
Is anyone still running into customers with Windows 10 computers that
boot up with an autoconfiguration address but will get a valid
address if you Restart them? I got yet another call today about
this. Of course, customers think it’s our problem because the
symptom is “no Internet” on the affected computer.
I would have thought all computers would have the patch by now. But
I guess if the symptom is “no Internet”, the computer might not get
the update.
Annoying that this has not been better publicized. Somewhere
customers actually read, not this:
