That would imply that the AP sets itself a static IP of 10.0.0.1 when it is in recovery mode. I have no experience or knowledge of how Cisco makes their AP, I'm just giving you general networking advice.

oh, well then could you answer the question of if I need a crossover cable or not?

most computers and switches nowadays have what is called Auto-MDIX ports, which means they will swap their TX and RX pins if necessary - therefore crossover cables are never needed unless connecting two switches which do not have Auto-MDIX ports.

I'm trying to connect the AP and my computer, so would those two have auto mdix ports? Also, if that's not the problem could the problem be that the cheap poe injector was causing the problem by somehow not transmitting the signal?

CCNA is 1.5 - 2 years of study. CCNP is 4-7 years as administrator / engineer, CCIE is usually a minimum of 10 years. Or at least as I understood it. I have my CCNA and feel like that's roughly what it's equivalent to.

 

Cisco Netacad through my school, for reference of study.

CCNA is a 1 year course  i mean if you took it over 2 years i get why it was easy, at our school they told us we could take it over 4 months, which to be honest makes it quite difficult. Also CCNA is said to be the most difficult beginners certificate

I was adding on time for people who took longer. I had it in about 8 months, I went the ICND1 + ICND2 route. I was referring to how long the programs I usually see take and being very generous. The netacad program at my school lasts about 32 weeks, so four months as well. I started my studies before 4 months before I hit netacad, then had my CCNA 4 months after. I honestly should have taken it half a year in.

 

Yeah it's probably the most difficult beginners cert. Still a beginner cert though.

You must be thinking of the old CCNA. Now the CCENT (acquired after completing ICND1) is the beginners cert (but only on the cisco side. It assumes you have the knowledge to pass an A+ and Network+, the true Beginner certs). CCNA (the new one) is very much mid level. CCNP is not quite top tier but a nice halfway point. CCIE is top of the top.

I took the most recent CCNA. It's a beginner cert. CCENT is the beginner beginners cert. It could be argued that CCAr is the biggest one, not CCIE.
 

CCENT - CCNA - CCNP - CCIE ~ CCAr. CCAr is kinda to the side kinda above. It's the tier above CCDE, which is on the same expert tier as the CCIE. 

 

Just because CCNA isn't the lowest cert, doesn't mean it isn't a beginner cert.
