I recently changed my wifi network card to Intel Centrino 6235-N. I can only access internet if I choose dynamic ip address. If I set it to static then I only get limited access, the wifi icon has a yellow triangle.
I've tried every possible solution to get my wifi to use static ip; reinstalling driver, changing driver, use secpol.msc to get my "unidentified network" to use a private profile not public. All this to no avail.
How do I get my laptop to use a static ip address? I've never had this problem of setting a static ip address in any of my computers being Windows or Linux. Only my Windows 10(build 10240 RTM) laptop refuse to cooperate!

some viruses can block network settings modifications, i have no problems to set any of network settings on my computers however
Well this answer didn't help me. And my computer has absolutely no viruses or malware! I have scanned it with several tools. I don't think you understand the problem I'm having.
Check your router settings, you may need to define/designate a range of ip addresses where a static ip is allowed.
You then would pick a static ip from that range and use it.
Are you trying to set a IP4 address in device properties?
This has not worked for a while (Win 10 Build 10049 - Problems with Ethernet properties - Windows 10 blog) and doesn't work for me on RTM. The properties is greyed out...
Perhaps you would like to say if you are trying to make a static Ip on your internal network (192.168.x.x) or if you are trying to make a static external IP on the internet.
Thanks for your input but this was not the problem!
I'm trying to set a static ip on my internal network. My router takes care of the external ip which is dynamic by my ISP supplier.
SOLVED!
First I removed all drivers (again) in the Device Manager. Then I logged out from my Microsoft account and logged in to my local account. Then I rebooted my laptop. Once again installing my wifi driver and suddenly I could set a static ip address and connect to the internet!
I guess W10 has some bugs to clobber out...
Thank you all for giving me input.
