When a windows computer is configured to use DHCP but no DHCP server is available what type of address is configured automatically for it?
When a Windows computer is configured to use DHCP and no DHCP server is available, it automatically assigns itself an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address. This address falls within the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. The computer uses this address to communicate with other devices on the same local network segment, but it cannot connect to external networks without a valid DHCP lease.

What do i do if my computer can't find my router. what do i do?
Was your router installed and configured by your Internet service provider ? Does it act as DHCP server ? Meaning does it assign IP addresses to connecting clients ? Is the network card on your Computer working ? In command mode (Microsoft windows) if you type ipconfig /all what do you get ? Is your computer network card configured to automatically obtain an IP address or does it have a static address ? If your network card has a static IP address, you should check that it is in the range of the DHCP server and that they both have the same subnet mask. You should change selection in propeties to automatically obtain IP address. Check then if you see your router. Afterwards you can reassign a static IP address in the appropriate range or change the range on the router. Does your computer see other wifi in range but not yours ? Can you connect to your router from another computer ? In that case, you should compare the settings of the network connection of both PC's. And settings of the cards (is the radio option on ?) Is the location of the router adequate to avoid obstruction or interferences ? Both reduce the range of wifi network equipment. Obstructions are walls, furnitures ... Interferences are microwaves, cordless phones ...
Which circumstances are APIPA addresses assigned?
According to Microsoft:How to use automatic TCP/IP addressing without a DHCP server"A Windows-based computer that is configured to use DHCP can automatically assign itself an Internet Protocol (IP) address if a DHCP server is not available. For example, this could occur on a network without a DHCP server, or on a network if a DHCP server is temporarily down for maintenance."For more information, see Related Links, below.
