Do you mean with the laptop wired to the router? Use the windows command prompt? I tried to do this while on WIFI through the router interface and it never reconnected. I had to do full restart of everything to get back to where I was. I am way outside of my league here and I am afraid I will break things to the point I can’t connect at all.
Also since already happened to me on two different Cox IPs, I am not sure I will get a different result
yes, this has been incredibly frustrating. I am paying for a service that I can’t fully use....
if you answer my questions above, I will see what I can do....

@NickL,
Yes, hardwired directly into your router. In the Command Prompt, enter “ipconfig/release” then press [Enter] to release your computer's current IP Address. Enter “ipconfig/renew” then press [Enter] to renew your computer's IP Address.
