I’m trying to evaluate Katalon Studio to see whether it will meet my meager needs, and unfortunately I didn’t make it to first base before I crashed and burned.
My goal is to build a .NET console application that manipulates the admin pages provided by my home network gateway device’s internal web server to disable & enable Wi-Fi on a predetermined schedule.
To this end, I wish to:
- Begin recording
- Navigate to the URL https://192.168.0.254/2.0/gui/#/wifi/5GHz/priv/basic (a private, internal IP address)
- Wait for page redirection to the login form
- Enter my credentials
- Wait for redirection back to the original URL (step #2 above)
- Click the button to turn off Wi-Fi
- Click the button to save the new configuration
- Export the saved steps to C#
- Integrate the code with my console application
- Schedule and run the app
It seems a pretty simple process, I would imagine. But I got this (below) when I tried to load the URL in Katalon Studio’s introductory walk-through.
What should I do to get this working?

It records the steps and generates the C# code, and then I integrate that code into my application.
