To answer your questions:

1. Those IP address have automatically selected by router by default.

Even though I set the IP address as instructed by you, iphone is not able to connect to wifi network. Actually it doesn't eben find the network while I tried to manually add SSID in iphone, it didn;t work.

Please find the screenshots attached:

1.jpg --> Router DHCIP IP address range
2.jpg --> Preserved IP address for Laptop and iPhone. I have manually added iPhone's wifi mac address and assigned the IP address there, it didn;t work.

However, I again reset the DHCP IP address back to previous combination.
Please help.

Finally I am able to solve this. I just reset network settings in iPhone.

Settings -> general --> Reset --> Reset Network Settings

iPhone got rebooted. Then I turned on wifi and it is able to see my home network. I provided the password and it was able to login.

Thanks essbebe for your effort in resolving this. Really appreciate it.

Congrats.
Please try to back up the settings of the Wireless router.
