Open Ports

How do I connect my Ruckus H510 AP to my Linksys router and my Hitron modem? Where specifically do I put the ethernet cords in what order? Is there a specific order I need to turn on the equipment? Where's the best place to place the AC? I'm needing to open (forward) ports for a server and need? What's the best solution? If I'm not able to port forward with my AP, how can I do it with my router? Also, from what equipment do I plug in my equipment to my computer?

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Jon Justvig

Hi Jon,

Usually setup will be like below.

Internet connection >> Modem <<>> WAN_PORT-[Router/switch]-LAN_PORT <<>> H510/AP.

If your router/switch is configured correctly, along with DHCP server, anything connecting to it's ports will get an IP.

I don't think you need to do port forwarding.

Are you connecting this to a Ruckus controller/Cloud controller? If yes, you have to make sure port 22 and 443 are open on firewall.
