If you are also facing a similar issue of ipconfig /renew not working and are looking for solutions, then this guide is for you.

What happens when you type ipconfig /renew in CMD?

Well, there are a bunch of functions that you can run using the Command Prompt. And it is always better to understand what a command does before you try to solve any issues related to it. Speaking of the ipconfig /renew command, when you execute this command in the Command Prompt, you are basically ordering your DHCP client to regenerate, renew, or renegotiate a new IP address from the DHCP server on your router. It can help you fix any network issue that you might be facing. However, you won’t see any speed changes when executing this command, but you may experience a temporary boost in network speed.

What can I do if ipconfig /renew is not working?

1. Use troubleshooting tools

1.1 Run Windows Network Diagnostics

1.2 Use internet troubleshooter

Windows OS comes with a built-in troubleshooting tool that helps you diagnose and fix problems associated with the network. Some users facing the ipconfig /renew not working issue reported that running the network troubleshooter helped them resolve the issue.
