Another device with same ip

My connection continues to be interrupted and now it simply won't connect at all. Every time I try to connect the alert that another device is using the same IP appears. My settings are as follows:

IPv4: using DHCP

IPv6: automatically

Please Note that I have restarted everything and have renewed lease but I'm still unable to connect yet my phone connects without issue.

Thank you in advance.

Click the button labeled Renew DHCP Lease. What happens?

It attempts to reconnect and the alert re another device pops up again.

Either the DHCP server (most likely, your router) isn't working or is misconfigured, or else there is more than one DHCP server on the network. As a first step, try restarting the router. It may have an administrative web page that shows the list of DHCP leases.
