If you have a Ruckus AP, and not an OEM'd unit with customized configuration from an ISP, 
you can try following these instructions I wrote a long time ago.

If you want the 7111 to be used as a CPE to a Ruckus AP

other than a 7811 metro

gateway AP, you can follow these setup steps.  Assuming you have a ZoneDirector

and 7962/7762 dual-band or 7363 802.11a/n capable access

points, you can configure

the 7111 to connect with a secure WPA/WPA2 with AES

pre-share key WLAN.

1.  Default IP of the

7111 is 192.168.2.254, so manually give your PC/Laptop a

192.168.2.x

(anything but .1 or .254).  Press the

indented Hard Reset button on

a 7111 for 8

seconds, to reset it to factory defaults.

2.  Connect your

PC/Laptop to the 7111.  Ping

192.168.2.254 to determine when it is up.

3.  Open a browser to https://192.168.2.254 , allow/confirm security

exceptions.

4.  Login with super / sp-admin credentials.

5.  Go to

Administration::Management page, and Disable Link-Local Adapter

Management, and

Update Settings.  This will allow you to

set static IP or DHCP

management

address.  Also disable Auto-Provisioning,

or your manual configuration

will not take.

6.  Go to

Configuration::Device.  Specify whether

to use Dynamic IP (DHCP) or disable

it, and set a

static IP address/netmask/default-gateway that matches the VLAN info

of the ZoneDirector WLAN.  Use Update Settings to keep changes.

[ If you set a

new static IP address, you need to re-address your Laptop, to continue

configuration

with https://;. ]

7.  Go to Configuration::Wireless

page.  Set your country code to United States

and click

Update

Settings.  You’ll be told to reboot to

apply changes and we’ll do so later.

Click the Video

WLAN tab, and enter a descriptive Wireless Network name.  Enter

the ZD’s WLAN

name as SSID, and click the Encryption Method dropdown to select

WPA.

Match the WPA version and cipher algorithm, and enter the PSK defined on

the ZD’s

WLAN.  Click Update Settings to keep

changes.

8.  Go to

Maintanence::Reboot/Reset page.  Click

Reboot Now button.  Wait for the bar

that indicates

reboot status to complete, then reconnect after reboot.

9.  From

Status::Wireless, click the Video WLAN tab, and you should see status of Up.

On your

ZoneDirector Monitor/Currently Active Clients, you should see the 7111 MAC.
