Well this is not one hallelujah discovery but yesterday I noticed a different error message when trying to connect to my local WiFi network. Instead of just network error it also reported that it was unable to get a DHCP address from the server. I'm almost certain I have never seen the DHCP message before.

This is not an error caused by the phone. It is just in the limit of my routers range so signal is pretty weak at that spot in my house.
