cannot log into Access Point

[csha00001]

hi,

I have 2 cisco 1832i Access Points. I am trying to log into the Access Point using the Default IP of 192.168.1.1 via the browser. I am unable to do so, and I tried resetting the Access Point to the factory setting, not working. The ligths are blinking green but no access to the access point. help needed urgently please.

 Does your Access Point is standalone or Lightweight? 

 Do you have a console cable?

Cisco AP is a bit different from D-LINK, TP-LINK,etc. If you have a standalone Access Point you may need to console to it and perform some basic setup.

 If your are using a lightweight Access Point, you´ll need to have a WLC.

Well I have come a bit further but it's still not quite what I hoped for.

I'll explain what I did and what I can and cannot do as of this point.

I had a console cable an with that I managed to do a full factory reset by holding the Mode button for a bit more than 20 seconds.

I was watching the counter in the console windows.

After the AP was finished with its recover sequence I needed to create a username, password, SSID, Wifi pass, and there was a option to set the control network to static or DHCP so I choose static.

Filled in those settings and finished up the setup

When the AP was ready with saving everything I could connect with its WiFi.

When executing a network scanner on my laptop I noticed the accespoint now has the IP address I gave it in the CLI and the Accespoint has a network address which is given from a DHCP server.

In a web browser the IP address I have set in the CLI doesn't do anything, when I fill in the address given by the DHCP I get a webpage telling me to Login, but when I want to login with the credentials I've set in the CLI I can't get in, when I use a default password I still can't login.

Oh and maybe nice to know.

I saw a video where the AP should send out a CiscoAirProvision SSID after a factory reset but that didn't work with me

The AP is in Mobility Express mode and needs to be changed to CAPWAP mode. Reboot AP, let is get DHCP address and then quickly log in. Then execute the command ap-type capwap

The AP should now boot only in the CAPWAP mode

This CiscoAirProvision  is for Mobility Express and it seems yours are not.  You are probably running IOS mode.

Try to login with  user Cisco and pass Cisco.  Try c lower case as well if the first attempt does not work.
