The switch light stays amber. Performed reset per instructions on line but still stuck in boot mode. Please help.
Hi @Del2024
Greetings!
Thank you for contacting RUCKUS Lennar Home Community.
I hope you are doing well!!!
Thank you for the information you shared.
From the case description, I understand that the status lights on the Switch is Amber and the PWR light is Green which means that the Switch is stuck in the boot mode.
Please follow the below RUCKUS Lennar Knowledge base self-help article which will help you to fix the issue when the Switch is in boot mode.

Also, I understand that you have followed the steps online and still stuck in boot mode
May I please know if you have performed reset on Switch multiple times and if the reset still doesn’t work, have you performed software recovery?
If yes, could you please mention the point where you are getting stuck. If you could share screenshot, we could look into the matter and assist you accordingly.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
Best regards,

Hello @Del2024 ,
Thank you for the response.
I understand that you are facing issues while performing a reset on the Switch.
Could you please confirm if you have performed reset multiple times (like 10 to 15 mins) as mentioned in the article?
Also, have you performed software recovery after performing reset?
Please share the requested information and let us know if you have any queries in this regard.

Hi Pinky,
Yes, I've done the reset multiple times as mentioned in the article and also the software recovery.. I think the unit is just not responding at all. I was talking to my neighbor if they experienced this type of problem since they have the same unit like ours and he said they had the same problem a while back after a power outage and could not recover from it so they ended up replacing his unit. The unit came with the house when we bought it and the builder was Lennar.
Thanks,
Del
The issue happened since the Switch went in to the boot mode and this will be fixed once the software recovery is completed.
Please share the screen shot of the point where you getting stuck while performing the Software recovery. Also, please share a picture of the software recovery cable connections between Switch and laptop.
Apologies, as per our policies we cannot replace the unit as this is a software issue that can be resolved with the troubleshooting steps.

I thought you meant from the Ruckus Unleashed app for the software that you were talking about. Is there another software you use to debug it? if so, please provide the software and instructions.
Thanks
As you mentioned that you have performed reset multiple times, the only option left is software recovery.
we need to perform a software recovery since it can be that the image flash is corrupted in basic words the unit is not able to boot up properly and need to re-install the image to boot up properly.

Hello,
Wow..I just saw the instructions of the recovery software and I am absolutely lost just by scrolling through it, and you expect an ordinary non-techy guy to get this job done? are there any actual on-site support we can just have to get this done? Please advise.
