Can you log in via console (with a Cisco console cable and Putty) to verify it's management I.P Address?
</div>


<div>
Also try using Internet Explorer in compatibility mode.

Ok, getting somewhere. I did get a landing page ONCE asking for login/password. After entering the credentials and hit enter I got the original &quot;cant connect&quot; page from my prior post. Subsequent attempts to even get that landing page back just seems to default to the &quot;cant connect&quot; page.<br />
<br />
<br />
As far as the TCP/IP config panel, should I be inputting anything into the &quot;Alternative Configuration&quot; tab? Its currently set to &quot;Automatic private IP address&quot;.<br />
<br />
Also TCP/IP version 6 is not being used, not sure if that matters.

<div>
You shouldn't have to do anything with alternate config,. <br />
<br />
Did you try IE in compatibility mode.
</div>


<div>
Yes the <u>one </u>time it loaded is when I entered compatibility view. I think they changed the name from &quot;compatibly mode to compatibility view&quot;. I'm using IE v8.0.7600.16385.<br />
<br />
I am unable to update it to a later version due to other reasons.

Having issues logging into a Cisco WAP121 wifi access point. I'm using a direct ethernet cat5 connection from the nic card of my computer directly into the single ethernet jack on the back of the access point. I enter the default address of 192.168.1.245 into my browser but it never pulls up the config landing page. <br />
<br />
The ethernet card in the computer has its TCP/IP v4 all set to automatic (obtain IP address &amp;&nbsp;DNS). <br />
<br />
The access point has been reset to default prior to doing this. Also I've tried multiple machines, multiple WAP121 AP's, multiple web browsers, brand new ethernet cables, Macintosh laptops...ect. <br />
<br />
One odd thing to note (in the attached image). If you look up at the top of the Chrome browser, the tab for that page has the &quot;Cisco&quot; icon in it. So where is it getting that image from, the router? And if its getting that from the router, why isn't the landing page coming up? Also after I enter the address and hit enter, the &quot;admin.cgi?action=main&quot; auto populates the address bar. <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2016/01_w03/1069782/page.png" target="_blank" title="page.png (167 KB)"><img alt="page.png" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 800px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2016/01_w03/800_1069782/page.png" /></a>

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
