“Renewing a lease” is a term associated with how computers connecting to a network can coordinate which IP address to use. This is associated with what’s called the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP). It’s not likely relevant, here.
Do other devices reach the internet when connected to that same Wi-Fi network? If other devices work, likely so too is the local DHCP, and much if the local network environment.
If you have an add-on VPN client app, remove it, and try again. Add-on VPNs don’t do what many expect, and some can do do some things the users might not want. And add-in VPN clients mess with local network routing.
