A technician is troubleshooting a wireless network issue that is intermittently affecting two users.

When two devices on the same network are assigned the same IP address, it can lead to intermittent connectivity issues as the network switches between the two devices. This situation, known as an IP address conflict, can disrupt the normal operation of the network, leading to connectivity problems that appear sporadic or intermittent. Resolving duplicate IP addresses typically involves ensuring DHCP is correctly configured or manually setting unique static IP addresses for devices prone to conflicts.
