Which cable do I use to connect an Access Point to other networking devices? Also, why do Packet Tracer 3.2 files with access points connected to other devices no longer work?
Access points connect to hubs and switches with a straight-through cable. Meanwhile, a crossover cable is needed to connect an access point to routers and end devices. In Packet Tracer 3.2, the implementation was in reverse order. Since Packet Tracer 4.11 corrects this model, connections between access points and other devices in Packet Tracer 3.2 files will not work if loaded in Packet Tracer 4.11. You will have to reestablish the connection again with the proper cable.
