When on WiFi, phone cannot connect to internet

I don't know if this is a phone issue or something with my home WiFi.

 


My network configuration is AT&T (2Wire 3800HGV-B) broadband router and WiFi --> Ooma Telo --> Internet.  My rooted Droid 2 connects to the 3800HGV-B via WiFi without problems, but then cannot get internet. However, the IP given to the phone seems odd. It is given something like 10.200.21.49. The DHCP range for the 3800HGV-B is 192.168.xxx.xxx. The DHCP range for the Telo seems to be 172.27.xxx.xxx. I don't see how the phone is getting 10.200.xx.xx, but the bottom line is how can I fix it and get to the internet when on WiFi.

 

I am using a password on my router, so I don't believe I'm connecting to someone else's router.  Also, I've connected using the WPS button, which again leads me to believe I'm connecting to my own router.

 

I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting this issue.  I would appreciate some guidance in this matter.

 

Thank you in advance,

Andrew

Never mind.  I figured it out.

 

Somehow, in the manage settings area, the IP had been set to a static IP.  Thus the DHCP obviously wasn't working.
