configuring a AIR-CAP1602I-E-K9

[Enki Doe]

hello,

i got 2 of these accespoints, they both dont get an ipaddress. I have reset them, access through 10.0.0.1 is not possible. I can connect to those devices to Telnet.

I searched the internet, this site, youtube, but i dont know what do do next. How do i know if these devices have an ipaddres(ipconfig gives me a bad ipaddress or hostname notification) and how can i add these devices to my wireless network as a stand alone?

thanks in advance.

Many thanks for your reply. Today, dont know what happened, both get an ip-addres..

But i cant those those devices as an repeater,is that correct? So i need to cable to extend my wifi network when using these AP's?

Hi @Enki Doe I´m glad you made progress. 

 Yes, you can have those APs as repeater applying a similar config like that:

AP# configure terminal
AP(config)# interface dot11radio 0 (For 2.4 Ghz band)
AP(config-if)# ssid "your SSID"
AP(config-ssid)# infrastructure-ssid
AP(config-ssid)# exit
AP(config-if)# station-role repeater
AP(config-if)# dot11 extensions aironet
AP(config-if)# parent 1  '0987.1234.h345 900' ===> From who you are repeating the signal from.
AP(config-if)# end

However, if you can run cables and use those AP independently, it is highly advisable. Repeater is not a good design at all.
