when I tried to connect internet with my iMac, it shows that "another device on the network is using your computer's IP address". How can I solve this problem? thanks
iMac 24″, macOS 12.1
This is most likely due to your router assigning the same local IP address twice. You can get your iMac to ask for a new IP address.
Go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP
and click the button saying Renew DHCP lease.

I tried following those steps and still get the same notification. Any other advice?? I’ve never had this issue connecting my MacBook to Wi-Fi anywhere. Thank you!
