your laptop wifi has been assigned an IP address by the router dhcp server , it is trying to connect to this address but cannot as it is already assigned , right click on the ethernet connection on the bottom right of the screen , click status then properties and then tcp/ip and click properties and assigne a different IP address manually OR go to the dhcp page on the router and reserve different IP address for all the devices you use so you avoid a clash each device must have a different address for wifi and cable connection
