Hi Nik,
If the unit is a LAP521 you will need a WLC526 for this AP to work (see label on the back for Model number).
If the unit is a AP521 and you don't have access to the GUI, sure sounds like a dud.
If the unit is under smatnet coverage or Warranty (90 days) coverage call traditional Cisco TAC via the following URL;

You might try the following;
Step 0. Plug console cable in.
Step 1. Power cycle the device
Step 2. Send a "break" command to the device within the first 60 seconds after power cycle. Hit "Control /Break"
Step 3. From the ROM monitor prompt, set the configuration register value to 0x142. This causes the device to bypass the configuration contents stored in NVRAM upon next bootup. To do this, type:
> confreg 0x142
Step 4. Once the configuration register has been changed, initialize and reboot the device by typing the following:
> reset
The device will reboot itself.
Step 5. After the device boots up, you will be prompted if you want to enter the initial configuration dialog. Type: "y" for yes.
follow the prompts and see where this gets you the default userid and password should be "Cisco"
regards Dave
