R510 Wifi 5G signal dropping randomly from one of the WAPs

Nstars07

My Lennar home was build 4 years ago. It was installed with r510 WAPs (2 - one on each floor). About 4 months ago I started seeing all kinds of weird Wifi issues where my 5G would randomly drop (orange light on the WAP). I've spent the last four months troubleshooting this issue without success.

The r510's are hardwired to the Ruckus Switch, which is connected to the Router. I've replaced the Router. I've upgraded the software on both WAP's. Still nothing has worked. There appears to be a long history of the r510's wifi dropping randomly based on a basic Google search. Anybody know how to fix this?

Thank you for contacting RUCKUS Lennar Home Community.

Thank you for the information you shared.

As per the case description, I could understand that your RUCKUS setup is not working, and there is intermittent Internet connectivity.

Could you please let us know the answers to the below queries to assist you better?

1. On your switch while it's plugged into the outlet, do you see any lights on? (Amber or green) Please let us know which lights are on. (Please refer to the below picture and share a picture of the same, showing the light status and the FULL Switch panel cable connections to the Switch ports)

2. Is your Internet Connection from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) stable and working? (You could check this by connecting to your local router Wi-Fi or from an ethernet cable from Router to a laptop/PC).

3. May I know how many Access Points are connected to the Switch? Could you please let me know the light status on the Access Points? Any of these lights are on (Please refer to the below picture and share a picture of the same)

Please help us with pictures of your ICX-7150-C12P Switch showing the status of the lights and cable connections to the Switch ports. Also, light the status of Access Points.

All of my lights are green and good to go. My internet is working perfectly for my hardwired desktop. Again, it will all be green and working fine and then the AP's 5G will turn orange and I lose the connections. I change nothing and within 3-20 minutes (random time) it comes back on and things reconnect. I have attached my photos. 20230804_134929 - 2.jpg 20230804_134757 - 2.jpg 20230804_134821 - 2.jpg

Hi @Nstars07

Thank you for the response and the detailed information you shared.

We will check some configurations on the Switch, please follow the below steps to check the same. And help us with the command outputs.

Please follow the below steps and help us with the queries,

1. To check this issue, we must identify the ‘current’ IP address assigned by your local router to the switch ICX-7150-C12P

I will leave you a guide on how to perform an IP scanner on your local network to identify the switch IP address very easily.

How to find my Ruckus “Devices IP address” using free applications:

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-find-my-Ruckus-Devices-IP-address-using-free-applications/td-p/47027

2. Once we identify the IP address of the switch proceed to access remotely to the device “Command Line”

How to remotely access to 'ICX 7150-C12P' or 'access points' "Network devices":

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-remotely-access-to-ICX-7150-12P-or-access-points-quot/td-p/47388

If you can access the Command line should look like this:

ICX7150-C12 Router> OR

ICX7150-C12 Switch>

Please enter the below commands once you log in to CLI and share the output.

Note: Hit Enter to accept each command

enable

show version

show flash

Please share the output of the above commands or share the screenshots if stuck at any step or error (if any) and let me know if you have any queries in this regard.

Thank you again for your patience.

Hi @Nstars07

Greetings!!!

Thank you for the response and the confirmation.

We suggest upgrading your switch to the latest stable version to avoid these issues. Your Switch is on an older version that is 08070c (Please refer to the below screenshot). Please refer to the below process to Upgrade your RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch.

Please follow the below steps explaining the Upgrade process.

The recommended stable version is 8095g (08.0.95g)

The Upgrade path would be: 08080d (your current version)>>8080f>>8095g

(PLEASE NOTE: Use 08095g patch in place of 8095h as explained in the guide)

Your Upgrade folder should contain these 3 files shown in the below screenshot: (Refer the guide link for more information)

Below are the options or methods to perform the Upgrade on the switch: You could choose any one of these.

1st Option:

1. In this option, we will use a pen drive or USB flash drive in which we move the files to the pen drive and connect it to the Switch then through CLI we execute the commands to upgrade the Switch using the following guide as a reference:

How to Upgrade a Switch ICX-7150-C12P using a USB flash drive

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-Upgrade-a-Switch-ICX-7150-C12P-using-a-USB-flash-drive/td-p/46781

2nd Option:

2. The following guide is an example of an upgrade via TFTP server, by using an application (FREE) to send files or upload remote files to a device, in our case, we will use it to update a new version to the Switch, basically it will send the image version remotely from the computer to the switch.

How to upgrade a Switch ICX7150-C12P via TFTP

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-Upgrade-a-Switch-ICX-7150-C12P-via-TFTP/td-p/47187

3rd Option:

3. In this option we Upgrade the Switch from the Web Interface (GUI) of switch.

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-perform-an-Upgrade-via-Web-GUI-ICX7150-Switch/td-p/48200

Try to access your switch from a web browser by pasting the below URL in http or https form whichever that works.

https://0.0.0.0 or http://0.0.0.0 (IP address of Switch. 0.0.0.0 is just as an example)

As you can access CLI, I would suggest you follow the 2nd option.

Please let me know if you have any queries in this regard.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
