If the computer is not using an IP on the router, either a DHCP IP issued by
the router or the NIC has been manually configured to use a static IP on
the router, and the machine cannot assess the device IP on the router to
access the router's admin screens, then the machine doesn't have a
connection to the router.
If the router is issuing DHCP IP(s), and the computer's NIC has the 169. IP
assigned to the NIC, then the O/S assigned that IP to the NIC. The machine
cannot access the router's device IP nor can the machine access the
Internet, since the machine is not using an IP on the router.
It's a sign of trouble and the machine is not using an IP on the router, if
the 169 IP has been assigned to the NIC.
You can use the netsh command to see if it will buy you anything as it's a
solution that has been used with Vista and router connection problems.
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable
