Unable to click or select checkbox using selenium python webdriver chrome

Question

After all unsuccessful tries I had to ask for the help. The thing is I want to make script which will automatically login, go to specific tab ("WAN"), click appropriate check box (to disable NAT) and log out. (It's actually Huawei GPON router HG8245)..

My code goes fine until the check box, so...

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoAlertPresentException
import unittest, time, re

driver=webdriver.Chrome(r"C:\chromedriver.exe") #load the driver => OK
driver.get("http://192.168.100.1") #go to this web page => OK
driver.find_element_by_id("txt_Username").send_keys("root") #username=root => OK
driver.find_element_by_id("txt_Password").send_keys("root") #password=root => OK
driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[@id='button']").click() #click Submit button => OK
driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[@id='headerTab']/ul/li[2]/div[2]").click() #Go to the 'WAN' tab => OK

And for the clicking of check box my tries:

#1
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@value='InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.2.WANPPPConnection.1']").click()  #=> NOT OK
#2
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='record_1']/td[1]/input").click() #=> NOT OK
#3
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#record_1 > td > input[name=\"rml\"]").click() #=> NOT OK

Of course all xpaths are checked in chrome via console (in the Mozilla as well) and they seems fine! Any ideas how to solve this?

Considering provided HTML code sample you need to switch to iframe before handling check-box:

driver.switch_to.frame("frameContent")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//tr[@id='record_1']//input").click()

God Bless you!!! Can you please tell me how you concluded this so I can understand? Thank you!!!!

iframe is an HTML document rendered inside base HTML. You cannot handle elements of embedded iframe without switching to it. To check whether element located inside frame/iframe - just check ancestors. In your case there is

<iframe id="frameContent" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="html/network/wan.asp" style="height: 470px;" height="100%" frameborder="0" width="100%">

ancestor of target input
