Wifi can't obtain IP adress

When I turn on my vr it says that I don't have any wifi, but when I go to the wifi settings it says "obtaining IP adress" for around 5 minutes, but after that it says that it failed to configure it. This only happens to the main wifi and not to any other wifi.

Hey @Zombiehaunter007 here's a useful link to help with WiFi troubleshooting.  Connecting to WiFi can sometimes be really technical so if you could try these steps here first would be appreciated:

Meta Quest WiFi Troubleshooting 

There's also steps listed on how to download RouteThis, including a download link.

If you still can't connect to Wi-Fi, please contact Support. In the top right of the RouteThis Helps app, find Your Key and include this key code in your Support request.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

It worked after a factory reset, thank you!

What a total Piece of Sh... reply... "contact support" how about you answer openly since this issue is OVER 2 years old and your staff seen to refuse to help openly Point and case https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/pcernv/connecting_to_the_internet_doesnt_work_stuck_on...   another "contact support" instead of just openly troubleshooting so we can resolve it ourselves quickly... That is very poor and lazy support right there.

Another one here. Quest 2 suddenly won't connect to home WiFi. Not 5ghz or 2.5. 
It worked fine, it was downloading the latest quest update, when I came back to it, it refuses to connect with "IP configuration failure". 
Tried restarting the router. Tried forgetting and re-adding the networks. Tried connecting WiFi VIA the mobile APP. Tried factory resetting the Quest 2. Tried factory resetting VIA the mobile APP. Same problem persists.
