So I tried putting wifi router between my laptop and the network switch. It fixed everything. I got new ipv4, could even get ipv6 without any trouble and dhclient could successfully renew my ip address.
Now I would like to know whether It is a requirement that there has to be a router between my laptop and a network switch for Debian (or any Linux distro) to work correctly? And what has been causing the problem? Everything worked fine on Windows10. I'd rather have a setup without a wifi router or any other router. But If I have to get one (I hope It doesn't have to be a wifi router) to get Debian working, which one would you recommend.
