Company Laptop Can't Connect Home Broadband

Hi, I need to use the company laptop to connect to home broadband. However, when it is connected, it shows "no or limited connectivity".

All the other laptops/computer at home can connect without any problem.

When I try to use my iPhone as hotspot. My company laptop can connect and browse websites (but extremely slow because is 3g speed).

Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Hi, I tried them and they are not working. Just googled around and find that my situation is like this:

ipconfig shows that I'm connected to 169.xxx.xxx ip, which means private ip and not able to get the ip from real DHCP.

What I have done is to disable the DHCP, assign IP to the MAC address of my laptop, set my laptop to connect to that IP.

However, still not working.
