Re: CW9166 AP console login credentials

PriyaKB · ‎11-09-2023

Hi,

I have a CW9166 I-E AP and it is in Factory reset mode. I am trying to login to the console with below crediantials but unable to login.

Cisco/Cisco, admin/admin, meraki serial number and no password.

What is the correct credentials to login to the AP?

Thanks

- Entering the serial number can be prone to errors ; make sure to not mix '0' and 'O' or 'Q' and 'O' and stuff like that ,

First - is it in Meraki or Catalyst software mode?
The serial number and no password is intended for Meraki AP local page - not sure if that's even supported on console when in Meraki mode.

So it's probably in Catalyst mode which means it should be Cisco/Cisco

To confirm not in Meraki mode, HTTPS to the IP address of it. If you get a splash page then use the serial number
