Also just tried connecting via ethernet from laptop to router & same thing - no internet & an APIPA address....

Ok, tested new cable -- same thing -- except it isn't knocking the internet connection now for all other devices. I just can't connect using the desktop

ping localhost works perfect. Desktop is upstairs and router is downstairs. I have a cable going from router, through PVC outside to upstairs room, so it is possible cable went bad. Let me try and find a long enough cable to test. Really don't want to have to lug the whole desktop downstairs haha!

My Internet connection will be working perfectly fine until I plug in my desktop running Windows 10. As soon as I plug in this PC, all devices lose Internet connection. They stay connected to the router, but no connection to the outside world... What could be causing this? I already made sure...
