Macbook Air will not connect to home internet but will connect to other networks. Errors: "Wi-Fi does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet" & "wifi has self assigned ip address and will not be able to connect to the internet"

I have tried essentially every solution on the internet and still no luck. My Macbook Air is getting two errors, the first being "wifi has self-assigned ip address and will not be able to connect to the internet" and the other "Wi-Fi does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet".


It just randomly started doing this so now I cannot connect to the home internet anymore. I have renewed the DHCP lease, forgot all preferred networks and changed configure IPv6 to link-local, even gone as far as deleting files in config, and of course reset the device numerous times. If anyone has ideas for a fix PLEASE let me know!
