how do i setup a hiveap 121

i recently found an older aerohive hiveap 121 in a thrift store. no where on the device does it say the default ip and username and password. i would like to maybe put this device to work somehow but am not sure how to set it up at all. i have looked for information on the device online and turned up nothing in regards to the setup and the default access ip and username and password.

The AP will pull an IP address from the network it is connected to, so there isn't a default IP per say. The username will always be admin, and the default password will be "aerohive" or "Aerohive1" without the quotations.

I would recommend using our free ExtremeCloud IQ platform called Connect to manage the device. This guide reviews how to register for a Connect instance: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/Registering-for-HiveManager-Connect

If you can let me know what kind of SSID you'd like to set up, I can provide a guide for that as well.

when I got it initially it was setup for a catholic school where they had teacher student and guest. What I want to do is set it up with just 2.4 and 5ghz and have it as secure as possible. I tried to find the firmware and program from the download box but I got either a blank download box or that what I click on takes me to a blank page
