Thanks for the reply, No reply from ping. on factory IP. LEDs look normal. If I hook the unit up to my switch. It hits the Internet ok. Also the WIFI SSID factory is their and able to log into the WIFI and access the Internet. Just doesn't seem to talk with the AP configuration? No Ping, and no LOG in page?

Hi RCABOB,

 

I see, what's the IP address of the AP once it's connected to the switch?  

The AP should get an IP from your router so you can try checking the router's "Devices Connected" page and see if you can ping that.
