Having trouble configuring Cisco WAP121 access point. Can not connect.
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.
The ethernet card in the computer has its TCP/IP v4 all set to automatic (obtain IP address & DNS).
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.
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 "Cisco" 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 "admin.cgi?action=main" auto populates the address bar.

Can you log in via console (with a Cisco console cable and Putty) to verify it's management I.P Address?
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 "cant connect" page from my prior post. Subsequent attempts to even get that landing page back just seems to default to the "cant connect" page.
As far as the TCP/IP config panel, should I be inputting anything into the "Alternative Configuration" tab? Its currently set to "Automatic private IP address".
Also TCP/IP version 6 is not being used, not sure if that matters.

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

Yes the one time it loaded is when I entered compatibility view. I think they changed the name from "compatibly mode to compatibility view". I'm using IE v8.0.7600.16385.
I am unable to update it to a later version due to other reasons.
